ministab

A design methodology invented by Denise Crisp, in which one takes multiple small attempts at the same or different project in order to get closer to their final end goal. This methodology can feel circular, but gets narrower as you go.

“This ministab is due on Friday.” -D

“The ministab needs more effort.”

Prime Minista 

Another name for the artist Sir Mix A Lot. He has written such songs as I like Big Butts, Great Big Johnson, and Bump It Down. The last two are more uncommon as they were not released to the public except through a leak in a record company. The last two songs also refer to CB radio and CB lingo. Prime Minista is Sir Mix A Lots CB handle and he is usually on channel 6 or the "superbowl" of CB radio channels.

Prime Minista walked all over me yesterday on the Superbowl.

minitab 

Statistical analysis software used a lot in 6-sigma/process excellence programmes. The interface is a bit clunky, but the stats behind it is spot on.

It is boring because it just does what it is supposed to do. No fuss, no hassle, no crashes...

I threw my gauge R&R data in to MINITAB and it confirmed what I suspected - the instrument is useless for measuring to the required tolerance.
