I held a specifications review meeting this morning because my group needs to decide how much information we want to publish. Naturally, some terms were thrown around that were completely new to me, and I rushed to write them all down in a legible fashion.
Among those terms was “load dump”. We have to spec the load dump!
Garritt, the technical lead for this project, in all seriousness said “load dump” about a dozen times. I held in every bit of my potty-brained double-entendre as the three spectacled engineers tossed around alternate jargon for the spec. I still wanted to giggle like a maniac.
I almost ended up doing that later while on a crowded elevator with Nate and a bunch of people I don’t know.
Sometimes, getting on an elevator is such an ordeal. There are always so many people and no one knows where they should stand…
Wouldn’t it be funny to get on at floor 1, rip a loud smelly one at floor 2, and then get off at floor 3? Gaw-ha-ha-hawd, that would be so funny, I’m laughing about it right now. All those normally straight-faced, monochrome people would twist their expressions into never-before-seen shapes of disgust as they ate my fart for several more floors…
What, you’re not laughing? Ah, well, that’s okay. I guess you’d have to be here. In my head.

i believe the proper term for that is called “cropdusting”.
