Any big organization develops its lingo. I won't go down listing the words I use at work that nobody else understands. But few seconds ago on a call with customer I've heard my colleague used an interesting phrase:

"Our team spends many clock cycles on ..." May be the engineers on customer side have caught the metaphor. I guess rather not. My colleague implied that the brains of our engineers work like CPUs, and particular task gets scheduled to run for a fair amount of time to get some CPU cycles spent on running its instructions :)
