There are benefits to having a good vocabulary. I recently called a old engineering friend of mine, and I asked what he was working on these days. His response? "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, glass, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment."
I was impressed, until upon further reflection, I realized that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.
