    In Dutch, the term for civil engineering works, especially in infrastructure is “kunstwerk”, as in an artificial work like a concrete wall, a steel overpass, a masonry canal, etc. That sets it apart from an earthwork, like a ditch, berm or other feature.

    But “kunstwerk” also means “work of art”, as in the Mona Lisa or The Scream. And thats a regular, non-jargon word. So that occasionally leads to fun when I tell someine I recently worked on a “work of art” on the highway near Amsterdam, and people look at me really weird. Or I use a phrase like “well, you can really stack dirt that high, so we’ll have to design some art to fix the problem”.

      Similar things are true in german. We have “Ingenieurs-kunst”, which literally means “art of engineering”, and it’s a common word. But also, “Kunst” means art like in Painting, etc.

          It sounds innocuous when used conversationally too so it’s less likely to be picked up as derogatory.
          A: “Was the user’s login problem difficult to fix?”
          B: “Nah, that was a PICNIC to troubleshoot.”

    I don’t know about making no sense, but photography, especially fim, has some fun phrases: subjects are lit up and shot. Afterwards, you go into a dark room and blow them up, burn them (if you don’t dodge), and stick them in an acid bath.

    In reality, it’s lighting and taking a picture, projecting it onto photo paper, basic edits (darkening/ lightening specific areas), and processing the photo paper.

    Odd groups got left, even groups got right. That means 1, 3, 5, 7 left; 2, 4, 6, 8 right. 7 & 8 are whelp groups. Ok listen the fuck up. You are going to DPS very very slowly. Now, and by slowly I mean fucking slow. If you get aggro, it means you are going to lose 50dkp because you didn’t know what the fuck to do. And watch the fucking tail. If you get into the whelps, you lose 50dkp again, for not being where the fuck you were supposed to be. There is no aggro reset. There is some shit about an aggro reset when people don’t know how to manage their aggro. After 2 sunders you can basically start doing damage to it. Assuming you know how aggro works and you don’t over-aggro. Ok nuke it, dot it. Help the whelp groups. When it’s in phase 2, nuke it as hard as possible. You want to get it down as fast as possible. Have dots up on every time, 2 rows, shadow word pain, warlock curses, rends, everything. I don’t see enough dots, more dots now. Come on more DPS. Hit it like you mean it. You’ll have time to rest in phase 3 while I’m getting the aggro. Remember, save all your aggro reducing abilities for when it lands. That means feign death, vanish, fucking fade, anything you can use to reset aggro. At 40% you will stop dots, until then you will throw more dots. Throw more dots, more dots, more dots … come on more dots. Ok, stop dots. Now hit it very hard … and very fast. Lee run to the center, Mulgras run to the center, Forsyte run to the center, Nurf run to the center, Isis run to the center. Whatever the fuck you do, do not stand next to other people. Mulgras, center. Just heal me. Lee do not… go away from the head lee. Go away. Ok DPS, slowly. Come here you fucking cunt. Watch the tail! Whelps! Crushim was feared into… Who the fuck was that? Crushim, what the fuck? Whelps, left side! Even side! Many whelps! Now, handle it! Fuck! That’s a fucking 50dkp minus! What the fuck was that shit? If you stand in the right fucking place, there is no way you are going to fucking get into the goddamn whelps, whatever fucking fear, tailswipe, whatever the fuck ok? It’s like one in a fucking million. From the fucking north corner to the middle into the fucking whelp cave, it’s not even fucking remotely imaginable!
