technobollox

Completely inaccurate drivel relating to technology or something of a technical nature, which is spouted by someone who either doesn't completely understand the subject they're talking about, or has heard a few key buzzwords and gone off on a spasmodic frenzy of scaremongering and sensationalisation. Quite commonly encountered in professions such as IT, Engineering, etc. People who actually understand and work with the technology being discussed can spot technobollox a mile away, and will often thwart and ridicule the perpetrator by introducing real facts to the discussion.
Sadly this doesn't prevent technophobes from being sucked in and their ignorance increased by this menace.
Person A: "Some guy at that management seminar told our CEO that BlackBerry devices can calculate next week's lottery numbers, now he wants one!"
Person B: "What?! he's talking technobollox again!"

Technobollox victim: "Don't install that 'Windows XP', my friend told me that it will steal all your data, kick your dog, and send your bank account details to Micro$oft!!!!!!"
Engineer: "That is complete and utter technobollox"

techno-ninja-mommas

noun. Saavy customer support personnel that usually work from home and for the most part are PT Moms that have become unbelievably bored at home and wish to join the workplace, but still have kids to shuttle back and forth. As a result, they are working part time usually in customer support that allows them to coordinate their hours between child issues
Man, the techno-ninja-mommas gave me fine support,probably because they don't have to deal with their kids for that one moment and are talking to an adult for the first time today. Not to mention they were probably in their pajamas
