    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.
