    IT guy here, we suffer from a similar problem where everything is an acronym so it sounds like alphabet soup that if said as a word means sometimes you can’t even quietly go look it up later. You either nod along knowing what it means or nod along not knowing what it means but having no chance to learn without outing yourself.

      And you can’t out yourself because, in many workplace cultures, the appearance of knowing is more important than actually knowing. :/
