Syncing slower than the titanic

Technology/computing-based pun: it took nearly 3 hours for the Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 so the pun can be used when files take longer than expected to sync.

Sync is the homophone of sink.

Sync being the abbreviation for synchronization or the process of keeping dataset copies consistant between one another in a computer system/network.

Sink meaning for something to go below the surface of water.
Jacob: Wow it's taking 3 hours for my files to sync with the network when it should have only taken 1 hour!
Jillian: Well you can say it's syncing slower than the titanic.
Jacob: Ah nice computer geek pun there!

Sync Jockey Behaviour

A form of exaggerated and attention-seeking performance, typically characterised by excessive dance moves, theatrical gestures, and the use of gimmicks such as masks. This behaviour is enabled by the aid of the sync button doing the work of DJing. This behaviour often serves as a distraction from a lack of talent, relying on spectacle rather than talent of being to DJ to engage the audience. Perpetrators of this behaviour are known as a Sync Jockey (SJ).
Look at them throwing their hands in the air, with those silly dance moves, and hiding behind a mask, classic Sync Jockey Behaviour
