Take a Line

An accidental fusion of 'take a number' and 'get a line'. Coined by Jacksfilms and psychicpebbles together in Jack's video, "this game sucks (with psychicpebbles)".

"I'm good at going into debt and nothing else."
"Hey, take a line, buddy!"

The Ortega Line

This is the point where technology projects are typically abandoned for brighter and more fun projects. Usually 80%, and the remaining work is usually the inglorious stuff like documentation, security and common sense. Named after RA Ortega, the man responsible for delivering technology projects at scale, using under the influence.

Shit, no wonder I can't find anyone. This project hit the Ortega line, and everyone bagged ass.
