The way that a software application behaves based on assumption that a designer or developer made that was never validated by actual humans that have to use the application.

It's great assumptionality that you only 'need' four items in the recently used file list.

AssumptionWare

Stands for Assumption Software.

Software which performs actions that it assumes is OK with the user. An example of AssumptionWare would be a program that installs into a directory with no option for the user to specify a different one. Another example would be a program that writes log files with no
option to disable.

Windows can be considered AssumptionWare, since it automatically installs Internet Explorer without option.

assumptioneer

An assumptioneer is someone who works in a field very similar to that of an engineer but they do not have tons and tons of accurate data available to make decisions so they have to make lots of assumptions, hence this makes them an assumptioneer - doing assumptioneering work.

Project Manager - How is the work progressing on the facility design?
Design Manager - Jon has been struggling with a lack of data but as we all know he is a great assumptioneer
Project Manager - ok as long as we clearly document all our assumptions in a concept document should be fine for now

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
