Haha. You say that as if software developers never put out bad products...although I have not personally heard Samuel Jackson complain.

Why do people call data metadata. I really hate this, they start going on about the "metadata" and I automatically start thinking about data types and data lengths, encoding and stuff like that when what they actually mean data.
It is not impressive and does not make you sound clever. What using the word incorrectly does is when you talk to someone with database knowledge it makes you look like you do not know what you are talking about.
But most importantly it annoys me. There you go. My first rant.

Well now I try to remember:
He who does not know and knows he does not know, teach him.
He who knows and does not know he knows, enlighten him.
He who does not know and thinks he knows is an idiot, ignore him.
He knows and knows he knows... (go for it!)
or something along those lines, Confucius maybe

Mike,
The words are a bit minced but it sounds like one of the chapters from the Tao Te Qing.

It's not a word. The word is colleague. I know it's hard to spell and it sounds a little French but there is no such thing as a co-worker. If you really dislike the work colleague then use the term work mate.

... you put the dash in the wrong spot. The proper term is cow-orker.

Mr. Webster is a very successful rancher, so his orkers were all busy, out in the fields orking the cows. They could not be reached for comment.

When you buy a pre-owned car...do you get it to *poof* our of thin air?
The car is always owned.
Once it is purchased new from a dealership, it becomes used.
The choices for buying a car is new or used.
You don't go to a deal and say you want to buy a not-owned car....
Allowing this type of lingo to slide by and not calling a pre-owned car "used" in front of the salesman reinforces the stupidity of politcal correctness.
"Hey Bob, what did you do this weekend?"
"I bought a pre-owned vehicle"
"Ah, you bought a used car...you fking lemming..."
I suppose this is one reason i like programming, one cannot change 0 to 1 and vice-versa..unless we get into quantum computing.........sh*t
in any case, i feel better now

pre-owned is different to used.
For example, I could buy a car.. pay for it.. but never collect it, sit in it, start it, open it.
It's then pre-owned, but is it used?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No, it's not. "pre-owned" was made up by used car salesmen because the term "used car" had accumulated such a bad connotation. See also "rerun" and "encore presentation".

Actually, co-worker (I prefer cow-orker, too) is in fact a correct term. It is colleague that is often used incorrectly.
The difference? Basically, cow-orkers are paid by the hour, and colleagues are salaried or stipended professionals.

Would not the correct term be luser?
|
|
|

Is anyone else here sick of hearing this phrase? It's confusing, and in the wrong hands (mouth I guess) its really annoying.
Im sure this is prob a repost but damn I hate it.

Yup. See my reply to the XCon[^] post below.

This one has died down a bit from the halcyon days of the tech bubble but it's still overused. Where once we actually heard words like "System" or "Device" even "Answer". Now everything is a Solution.
Typical use:

Overused? Just because a Web Solutions Architect[^]opens a VS solution to engineer an enterprise-level solution after reading a solution to their leading query on the Interweb ... oh. Nevermind.

Did they just file their own advertising under "Buzwords Hall of Shame"?
If so, at last! An Honest Marketeer!
