Serendipity?

Man, I hated that movie. The reward sex was no where close enough to equal my pain.

I use to hate that word too until I realized what it means.
It is shorthand for, "I am way to stupid to understand how this works, but am trying to explain it anyway." Now I agree with them, for the most part they are too stupid to know how something as complicated as a database, or ball point pen for that matter, works.
I won't buy from them though, because I really don't want to buy a product from a company that hires people that dumb, it makes me worry about their engineers.

I pwned a n00b on ATOT and someone else QFTed my post by thinking outside the box irregardless of what u think, I need to be more proactive in my intermittent posting attempts of making a spitin image of all the posts, more pacifically I says all the time to my fellow posters on ATOT, "Serendipity was a stupid movie" and I proceeded to goto the vending machine and drink some soda.. the whole experience was automagical.

Most of the meeting buzzwords and phrases are hated in my book. Synergy, low hanging fruit, enabler, and value-added.

And yes, Medicine Bear is a riot.

Uggh. f'n value-added. I hate that one. I am also a victim of 'automagically' as well. If it was AUTOMAGICAL, we wouldn't have to code it now, would we?

That low-hanging fruit one is pretty stupid too, I've never heard that! :thumbsup:

I swear I've heard that word about 50 times already today. Someone brought in bagels this morning. Heard someone say they "appeared automagically" then when we had a fire drill all the damn way down the stairs I heard people saying crap about the alarms going off automagically. Fvcking assholes!
