Twice now one of the IT guys has referred to loading data and churning it through a module as “bump and grind”/“bumping and grinding” it. One other person repeated the phrase when clarifying a point he had made. :eek: I’ve checked urbandictionary and I’m pretty sure the phrase has not migrated in definition.
And talk about a juxtaposition of contexts–the wettest to the driest.
did you offer to “plug and chug” them?
I think you should introduce him to R. Kelly (not a direct link, click the “Bump N Grind” video about 1/3 of the way down the list) in order to remove all confusion.
Can I just take a piss on him in the middle of our staff meeting instead?
Ok, yeah, I had a pretty good idea what that might mean but I’m so glad I confirmed it. :o
All I know is that I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bit of bump and grind.
Do these upstanding men also remind you of your Jeep?
Don’t worry gigi, next week they’ll be erroneously calling it pumping and dumping.
You may. As an IT guy who is neither nerdy or socially retarded, I can tell you that most IT guys try way too fucking hard to sound “cool”. They are donkeys, and deserve to be pissed upon in staff meetings. Unless, of course, they like that sort of thing (in which case you should shred their pocket protector).
That would be the 9:00am golden shower staff meeting, right?
I’ll never forget the day in Teacher School when a police officer came to talk to us about some of the issues teenagers face today. He referred to some of them as “gang bangers.”
That did NOT mean what it does today when I was a teen.
Perhaps they truly don’t know what it means. If English is their second language, the sexual nature of the phrase could be unknown. Being engineers, too, they are probably only attempting a visual of bits of data literally banging into others as they are fed into a machine and ground up. This makes them rather innocently naive, instead of stupidly crude.
If you are thinking of the sexual meaning, that is still very much in use, they just apply it sometimes to gang members as well. I was kinda surprised too when I first heard it used with the latter meaning, and I’m not that old.
There ain’t nuttin’ wrong with a liddle…
OK, I’ll leave.
At the TV station where I used to work, we would refer to news packages that were being re-voiced/re-edited by our staff as “scratch and sniffs” for no relevant reason.
YOU WITH THE EARWORMS! I SEE YOU AND I WANT IT CUT OUT NOW! The worst part is I remember only that one line and it’s on an endless loop. No, I don’t need your help with more lines, thanks. :smack: 
Nope, good old New England boy.
We deployed the most recent suite of Microsoft security patches to our data center over the weekend.
This typically causes application breakage, requiring hours of diagnosis, rollback, and redeployment. In short, our systems get screwed, and our mood becomes foul.
I think security patching should therefore be called “fuck and suck.”
But what do I know.
What, you don’t remember the beginning?
My mind’s telling me noooo… but my body! My body’s telling me yeahh!..
Baby, I don’t want to hurt nobody…but there’s something I must confess to you…
waves and smiles innocently
Oh, yes, that’s so much better. :: ppbbbtttt
