I'll admit to having an arm's-length relationship with popular culture. But sometimes it goes beyond that.
I usually greet my wife at the door when she gets home from work. Last night I was busy. But I wanted to let her know I'd be there presently, so I hollered out, "I'll be right there just as soon as I finish this joint!"
Fortunately she knew what I meant. It only occurred to me later how it could be misinterpreted, then I felt pretty silly.
It was, of course, a solder joint on my 8085 homebrew computer.
Anyone else got a way with words?
