Silicon Valley Lingo vs Georgia Slang
I’ve been following Devin Akin’s Twitter posts – he’s started a little collection of word definitions. Comparing what is said in Silicon Valley versus what is used in his native Georgia slang.
Some are pretty funny. Thanks Devin for allowing me to cross post these on this blog!
Silicon Valley Lingo –> Georgia Slang
Set expectations properly –> Don’t make stuff up
Take his temperature –> See if he bit
Rock Star –> Work Ethic
Reaching –> Probably won’t work
Win-Win –> Everybody’s gittin’ somethin’
Chunky deal –> A big, fat deal
Clunky –> Crappy, Ugly, or Just Dumb
Kludgey –> Screwed up (or FUBAR)
Streamline –> Shape up or ship out
Tighten up –> Get your ducks in a row
Bubble up –> Hit my radar
The operational analysis shows… –> See, what had happened was…
Hitting a roadblock –> Gumming up the works
High burn rate –> blowin’ through all your cash
Non-starter –> That dog won’t hunt
Sentences ending in “…my friend” –> somebody isn’t happy with you about something
