I love that feeling when STEM geeks chat about absolutely anything. We use random math or science lingo for absolutely anything.
"Just take an absolute value of my passion for these characters"
*Debating how to do optimization when it comes to plotting your walking route and what variables to prioritize*
On finding a career that fits really well when the one you're in isn't quite right: "you just need to start some small perturbations" "yeah perturb yourself"
Something something mean median mode
"It's like crossing the event horizon, you just get sucked into this experience and there's no escape"
Pretty niche: "Rather than be a 'T-shaped' person with depth in one area of expertise and breadth across some other areas, I was thinking why not be a person shaped like the gravitational potential of our solar system: big depth in one central area, with a 3d "T-bar" that goes out and has numerous additional divots of depth."
The classic: comparing something to superposition or wave-particle duality (have you guessed I'm a physics gal yet?)
"It's kind of like, I have the code for the task but my internal compiler just isn't running for some reason"
Please add more if you have any fun examples of using STEM lingo out of context or to communicate something only tangentially related! (I live for this stuff)
