How do surfers (beach bums) use that?

I was going to suggest "jacking" but for the life of me I can't figure out how that could possibly apply to a computer scientist...

I may check that from home. Until then I need to try jacking into the HR system here.

Gas.

Computer Scientist: Damn, that burrito I had at lunch sure gave me gas.
Surfer: Like, riding that gnarly wave was a gas, dude.
Trucker: My truck is out of gas, good buddy.

There are some good alternative answers. The term I was looking for is "flip-flop".

Nice, had to google how a trucker uses that term. Now my mind can take a break from curiousity. Smile | :)

Having been a surfer, a trucker, and now a computer scientist, I do have the definitive answer:

WTF | :WTF:

SH*T!! OMG | :OMG:

For the surfer, when another (idiot/stupid) surfer slams or cuts them off.
For the trucker, well, it's just part of the defacto lingo.
For the CompSci, when they realize they don't have a valid backup of their data.

For your choice of word, that being "flip-flop," had you also included "politician," [ Dead | X|

] then *everyone* would have easily and readily guessed it! Poke tongue | ;-P

I dunno, when I think of politician i think of (your definitive word) "Sh*t", "criminal", "liar", then "flip flop".

Why is it when I am doing a VAT return my MD and my FD descend upon me in a state of urgency about getting a budget for a new site out.
Flap flap flap...

I am online with the HMRC trying to pump in numbers and miss the pennies off a return.

It doesn't sound much, but when I run the report it does not come back to zero, there is 81p o/s.
This means the TB and the Balance Sheet Report have two extra lines which annoys me as it now looks ugly.
And I have to remember to reverse the balance next month.

I wish people would just FRO on a Friday.
