Boss: Did you get an email back from the helpdesk?
Me: Yes.
Boss: What did it say?
Me: I don't know.
Boss: You didn't read it?
Me: I tried to read it. The words are in English, but the sentence is in babbly-gook.
Boss: Babbly-gook?
Me: Babbly-gook. Apparently they want to know if we used this one particular version of one thing to do something to some other thing. I'm guessing we didn't.
Boss: Guessing.
Me: Well, it would be a better guess if I had any idea what they were talking about. Should I write them back and tell them that I recarbonated the fibrillation unit on the oscillation overthruster?
Boss: Oscillation... No, no you shouldn't.
Boss: Besides, it's been a few years. They probably wouldn't catch the reference.
