It Was Alright When I Left It
Response used by a maintenance person when the boss or customer complains that something he worked on is no longer working properly. It's another way of saying, "I didn't guarantee the damn thing." It originated with Instrumentation & Controls Technicians in a nuclear power plant when supervisors would complain that a device which was calibrated drifted out of tolerance.
Boss: "Why is the instrument that you calibrated three months ago out of tolerance?"
Technician: "IWAWILI."
