Digital Howard

An obscure magician’s misdirect. Dates back to the late 1800’s, invented by William Radley and named after famed magician Howard Thurston. Involved creating a spectacle to draw people’s attention, and then using deft pickpocketing skills (digits) to nick as many valuables as possible while people were distracted.

If I tap you on the right shoulder so you look right, and then steal your wallet out of your left pocket, that's a Digital Howard

pity digits

A phone number you give/get from a girl/guy the morning after you sleep with him/her even though you have absolutely no intention of calling him/her ever again, but it makes the whole goodbye thing way less awkward

I hooked up with a girl last night; she was annoying and I never want to see her again, so the next morning I got some pity digits when I dropped her off so it wouldn't be weird.

digital transformation

A word used by sales people with limited knowledge of technology to define the movement from an older type of technology to something newer, sparkly and expensive but not necessarily better.

Do you want help with digital transformation of your current set-up to the cloud, all it takes is money, poor project management, staff re-training and if you are lucky, you might have something that is less secure, a pain to administer and at best as awful as what you had before but on someone else's computer
