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.

Techie

One who is involved with all Technical aspects of a show/film/production, including but not limited to: Lighting Design/programming/implementation; Set Design/Construction; Prop Design/Construction; Costume design/construction; etcetra
Commonly known to wear all black, Join IATSE, and generally to have rather sick senses of humor. (Warning to all actors, they have Gaffers tape, they will stick you to the wall)
Note: The Stage/Production Manager can be considered to be a Techie, for they are considered "god" on set, the reason I set this aside is because they are not involved with IATSE, but with Equity.

the lighting designer Is a Techie.
the actors are most definitely not.

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.
