| I got to use the words "douche nozzle," "douche wand," and "douche spray" about a dozen times this afternoon, in a serious meeting with clients.
It was probably the hardest time I've ever had keeping a straight face.
We're designing a corporate facility in the middle east, and its a common thing for them to have hoses with little nozzles on them next to the toilets so that after they're done taking a huge shit, they can spray themselves clean. The name of the device? You guessed it. Its called a "Douche Wand." Well, there was a discussion about the water pressure needed to supply the douche wand, and how many PSI the douche spray needed to be. Of course, if you know anything about fluid dynamics, you know that one of the main factors in how hard the douche spray would be is how small the aperture is of the douche nozzle.
It actually became a sport to me how many times I could say douche nozzle to these serious looking middle eastern men without even cracking a smile. Hey, I'm an engineer, I have to have fun SOMEHOW. | |

| Oh man that's awesome. The best I've ever been able to do was accidental. When asked how I planned to do a large scale roll out by the executive board, I said "we're just going to have to zerg it." They all nodded and moved on the next point. Wasn't until afterwards that one of my staff said "You know, nobody in there knows what a zerg is" that I realized. | |

| LMFAO!!!! Way to sneak douche into a serious convo. You have to have some serious cool not to crack up. Douche means shower in French, and whenever we would practice hotel conversations, bathroom words, I fucking couldn't stop laughing. And Fezzic way to go getting zerg into a boardroom hahahah They were probably think it's some german marketing term and they're behind on the lingo!! | |
