richard feyman used to always stress: knowing terminology isn't the same as knowing the concept.

it's more impressive when someone can explain things in simple language, without jargon, so anyone can understand.

THIS.

But that's not the point of the thread. I think OP means "Techie" in the sense of an Acolyte of the Silicon Priesthood.
 
I'll be in the back room running off coppies on the dito machine.
 
Sweet, I'll be giving a presentation on the overhead projector with my Vis-A-Vis markers.
 
I'll be in the supply room, sniffing the Vis-A-Vis and Sharpie markers....

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and you screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc,
then you have to flash your memory, and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.
