Behold the sacred translation guide for the mysterious species known as engineers! What normal humans call "I hit it and it worked," engineers dignify as "percussive maintenance." That's just fancy talk for "I smacked it real good!"
The classic "turn it off and on again" becomes the impressively technical "cycle power to the panel." And my personal favorite—"I forgot to plug it in" transforms into "high impedance air-gap." Because why admit you're forgetful when you can sound like you've mastered quantum physics?
Engineers don't just get electrocuted—they experience "organic grounding." They don't melt things—those things undergo "thermal reconfiguration." And explosions? Please, that's "kinetic disassembly," thank you very much!
This shirt is basically the Rosetta Stone for understanding why your engineer friend can't just say "it's broken" like a normal person!
