Technically

When used at the beginning of a sentence, this word is a variety of the 'filler' word basically. Another direct replacement for technically is essentially. Maybe the speaker sees his or her own bad speech patterns and recycles these three words while speaking. Filler words add absolutely nothing to the sentence being spoken. Other filler words include like, just, and stuff and y'know, but they tend to be in the middle of or at the end of a sentence. Filler words are rarely used in writing and are part of acquired speech habits.

Technically, the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone.
Why not say... The knee bone is connected to the thigh bone.

Technical Death Metal

Often used interchangeably with progressive death metal, technical death metal (or simply "tech death") is a subgenre of brutal death metal that emphasizes complexity. It can be influenced by jazz or classical music. Some tech death metal bands have incorporated psychedelia, Aboriginal music, Mediterranean modes, and even symphonic elements into their music.

Decapitated is one of the most prominent technical death metal acts.

technical

A GLA (Global Liberation Army) owned vehicle in Command and Conquer (Zero Hour). It has a mounted machine gun on the back of the vehicle. The technical can upgrade its weaponry by salvaging enemy parts and by purchasing armor piercing bullets at the black market. It can also hold up to 5 troops, making it an effective transport vehicle. However, unlike the USA Humvee, the troops cannot fire out of the vehicle while they are inside. They must be evacuated before they can fire upon enemy units. RTS pro gamers use this versatile vehicle to pwn noobs because we pro gamers got the micro.

I'll kill you with 1 technical right, cause like y'know I just got the micro.

Technically

The word that says, "I'm explaining something very scientific now" But means, "You don't need to listen to anything after this point."

Guy 1: Did you know that there's a large hole in the ozone caused by global warming?
Guy 2: Well technically...
Guy 1: Just stop talking.

Technically Annoying

When somebody corrects you with 'Technically,...' to get out of saying something stupid or insulting you, and you have to forgive them because they're right, even though it's extrememly annoying of them.

Technically annoying people usually know in the first place that you're going to get mad at what they say, and they also usually know that the technicality of their words gives them a free pass to say this insult/phrase to you all the time.

Jeremy: 'Haha, you're a homo.'
Samantha: 'Excuse me? I'm not gay.'
Jeremy: 'Technically, homo could mean gay OR homosapien, like you have two legs. So I wasn't insulting you.'
Samantha: 'Sorry.' *Thinking* You're technically ANNOYING. Ugh.

Flume Technician

A very important, under-rated job. In a nut shell, it is a nutshell... Being on call 24/7, a flume technician is responsible for ensuring that the structural and watertight integrities of any and all flumes are maintained using technical equipment including duct tape, bungee cords, and clothespins (MacGyver style).

It is a booming profession. It's getting popular as well.

Jenn: What does Phil do all day? He always looks so busy but I never see him working.
Tom: Are you serious? Phil's the flume technician! Who would we call if his flume started leaking?
Jenn: But it always leaks...
Tom: EXACTLY! And he's always working on it! The lab would flood Zoltan style if he took a break.
Jenn: You have opened my eyes. How could I have been so wrong!
Phil: Hey dudes
