Normal Words, different meanings

[entwisi]

I was thinking whilst here at work about words i use that are 'normal' words but have totally different meanings in teh context I use them

e.g.

jar - to everyone else its a container for liqueds, to me its a collection of java classes(Java ARchive)

EAR - you listen with yours, I deploy them to WebSphere (Enterprise ARchive)

bounce - you would bounce a ball, I mean to stop and start something.

So what 'words' do you use that have different meanings to their normal use

spaz - to everyone else a person with mental dificulties - to me anyone thats peeing me off at any given moment

joey - to most the guy off friends - to me some idiot with a seemingly very low IQ

fudge packer - to most an employe at a fudge factory - to me somone who likes anal sex

Hmmm, I suppose that there are lots where I work.

Liquor - to most, an alcoholic drink......To me Amniotic Fluid.

Abortion - to most, getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy, to me, a miscarriage.

Show - to most, a form of entertainment, to me, a mucousy plug which sits in the neck of the womb and drops out at the end of a pregnancy and during labour....often alarmingly blood stained but completely normal.

Attitude - to most, a personal mental characteristic, to me, denotes the flexion of a baby in the uterus eg, whether the baby is well flexed (curled up in a typical foetal position) or.... whether the baby is stretched out or extended with head held high, military attitude (like a soldier on parade), not a good position for birth..

Theatre - to most, an entertainment venue, to me, an operation venue.

That's just a few...
