demystifying (or further convoluting) the silly words we use

[vvv]

I always thought a "virtual rack" had sompin' to do with photoshop porn ...

I think this thread has stirred up the demons of word play, somehow...

I heard a new one today, that I really like,

"I'm looking, for that "vintage-modern sound"

I would assume that it has gotta be both OLD and NEW at the same time!!!

I dunno, Adam... doesn't even the word "modern" have some kind of an old-fashioned ring to it?

"It was a very modern dinosaur."

If they coloured that then it's a great joke, if you did then you're excellent.


I don't have much experience in the audio eng field, I tend to hang around electrical machines more than electronics but I break out into a giggling fit when people talk about powerful computers.

I have a digital welder with an arc welding patch in it... Yes... D current with no switch... And before you ask current overload protection is oldschool in the welder utilising some form of magnetic powered auto relay... So the plugin doesn't even handle exceptions...

No where in the sales literature did they mention my welder smells great...
