  2. Professional Jargon on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    My personal experience of working in a technical field for the government, or any large corporation for that matter, is that technical jargon pervades all my work.

    Dr. Hibbert: Homer, I'm afraid you'll have to undergo a coronary bypass operation.

    Homer: Say it in English, Doc.

    Dr. Hibbert: You're going to need open-heart surgery.

    Homer: Spare me your medical mumbo-jumbo.

    Dr. Hibbert: We're going to cut you open and tinker with your ticker.

    Homer: Could you dumb it down a shade?
