cellioThis afternoon while I was walking through our office, a couple of developers were talking and one was advising the other to munge some data in a particular way. The administrative assistant who was nearby started saying, quietly, "munge?" So I stopped to translate for her. She had not heard this word before.
After I explained and answered some random geek-speak questions from her, she thanked me and said that this would help her understand what her teenagers say.
Hmm. I wonder if I made things better or worse. Teenagers, parents, and language: not always a good combination. :-)
