Dragan,

>The above paragraph is a random pick from what I say to anyone saying that we geeks talk our tecnho jargon and introduce our own words into common language. Now it was OK for blacksmiths, horseriders, railroad guys and seamen to do that, and somehow only we get criticized when we do the same thing.

You can take your pick of my responses:
  • You just hit the nail on the head.
  • Bullseye!
  • Aw, you're just blowing smoke. (where did that one originate?)
  • You're just spinning your wheels.
Regardless, just keep trying to educate the general public about how important geek jargon is, remembering the slogan of the dry cleaners' association: Press on!
