Mostly male school/club. Many more things that probably can’t be posted here without a permanent ban.
this was on our irc channel:
“Talk to the Firewall, the server aint listening”
Couldn’t stop laughing …
My contributions;
I cut if off three times and it’s still too short.
Accuracy…measure with yardstick, mark with chalk, cut with chain saw :yikes:
Duct tape is like the force, it has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together.
In an insane world the sane would appear as insane.
Helicopters don’t fly, they beat the air into submission.
Of all the things I’ve lost in life, I miss my mind the most :ahh:
Out of my mind…back in five minutes.
Totally and completely eliminate repetitive redundancy
Don’t exaggerate, I’ve told you a million times.

“Let’s pair up into threes.”
You probably heard that before lol…
i’m having a hard time thinking currently, with the robot build et al…
“Smooth ratcheting action” - a member of our team was trying to drive a screw into the robot while the drill was set in the counter clockwise position…the person was doing every thing they could but the screw just wouldn’t go in…
You had to be there…
This one is an old classic form our team:
Good enough for government work
someone yelling “FRESHMEN WITH A FILE” 30 seconds later a freshmen walks up with a file “hey it really works”
“rat tail files shouldn’t be used as a pry bar” programmer after snapping a rat tail file. Mechanical person “You idiot your supposed to chuck it into a drill and use that to make filing go faster”
“The arm is programmed now mechanical has to build it to suit the program” A programmer theory that got shot down before he finished saying it.
This is another old classic from our team:
Fix it in software
Here’s one software tried to start but for some reason didn’t catch on
Fix it in mechanical
“Use the four foot yard stick…it’s more accurate!”

To Bill : “Your cheese looks like Andrew’?” - by Rachel (Jacky) on 2/1/2005.
To Mrs. Lowe : “We’re getting pizza?” - Five minutes later by Jacky.
To Kyle : “But I don’t want to be known as Jackly!” - Two minutes later by Rachel (Jackly).

“lets buwd a wobot”- from our instructors 2 year old son (Andre)
“Where are the wheels”
“BRENDAN!, will you please open up the tool box.”
Recently, most of the people on my team were in a snowball fight, but two words stopped them cold (pun not intended): “Pizza’s here!” That wasn’t so wise of me, because seconds later they let several fly in my direction.
“We need to get to designing this arm!”
“Oh cmon guys, it’s not that hard. It’s just lines on paper.”
This was said by one of our programmers… not me though! 
Monday night:
Q: How do you spell “potentiometer”?
A: P-O-T.

(can you tell we like to jam while we build?)
Dori: “we’re not including male porn star in the statistics!”
Me: “but it’s a business!”
there are many said in our team, but the one thats comes to mind is:
“what did akshar break now?”
“How did you get that stuck there?!” that was said tonight when someone got a hex wrench stuck in a bolt.
Wait… did it rattle like that before ??
“Well, that’s good enough for Sammamish, I suppose.”
“JOHN! Stop breathing the solder fumes!”
“Can you cut this for me? I’m afraid of the table saw.” (From an adult.)
