My friend paul found some little phrases on the net, with what engineers and developers say and what they really mean:
Preliminary testing is inconclusive-
what it actually means: the darn thing blew up on us when we turned it on.
We predict-
what it really means: we pray to god.
The project's completion date is sometime in the fourth quarter-
what it really means: that should give us plenty of time to figure out who to blame to problems on.
i can't remember all of them, but those are three i do. this is just a topic for fun, list any phrases you may come up with that are funny.
