pAutomatator

pAutomatators is a term used by engineering fanatics to refer to themselves. The namesake refers to engineers specifically working in process automation and instrumentation.

The origin of the word is unknown, but its roots can be traced to a common hash tag in the community, #pAuto, standing for process automation. The word seems to be a combination between pAuto and terminator. Pshh engineers right??

How can you call yourself a pAutomatator if your facility still hasn’t converted to digital?

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
