sneaky pete 

In pool or billiards, a "hustler's cue." A well-designed cue that looks like a well-worn house cue.

After the hot chick took my money shooting pool, I noticed the old cue she was using was actually a 'sneaky pete'!

hmi 

Human Machine Interface. An industrial automation term describing a graphical interface into the process. Usually a PC application that uses tags from a PLC or DCS. At one time this was called MMI (Man Machine Interface) until engineering geeks became politically correct.

The operator of the machine was so stoned he didn't see all the alarms on the HMI while the entire lot was scrapped.
