Or rediscover an old one, in this case: Abseiling - Wikipedia[^]
Are we borrowing words again? Once you have read the basics, I will show you some more advanced uses, like the real (and somewhat racist) meaning of ' abseiling a brown person.
In connection with work it has a better meaning: To sneak away and slack off.

Nads told people about a new version of windows and showed a [not pretty] picture.
How many lemmings went down that path.
And now MS is really upset because somebody else's W10 scam plagiarized their BSOD.

Tangent to this... my wife has been telling our 11 year old daughter when she reads a word she doesn't understand, to look up the root word in the dictionary to discover the meaning.
Last night, when I prepared for bed, I found my daughter on my bed reading; no an usual occurrence. I asked what she was reading. "The dictionary", was her reply. I am not going to object to a child that wants to learn on her own...

They probably mean "abscond":
[əbˈskänd]
VERB
1.leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to avoid detection of or arrest for an unlawful action such as theft:
"she absconded with the remaining thousand dollars"

'Abseilen' is a normal German word and indeed means to lower yourself down with a rope. I can assure you that we also use it when we sneak away from something where we are expected to stay, like taking the first opportunity to sneak out of a boring party. Abscond could be a good translation, if it can be used when it's not quite abot a crime.

Hi All,
Am I the only one who used to use printf() in C (& C++, never a language I liked) as a way of seeing how the program was pasting data sent to it these days it's print it to a label or the list box rather than just dump it on screen no fancy formatting etc...

printf() was the debugger for those that did not know that they had a debugger

printf (and all its variants) is still the debugger in case where there is no debugger (I had a case with micro-controllers, when the only way I found was to write debug info to the second serial port and listen to it with an other application - kind of printf)
