How academics call something boring (by discipline) Philosopher That's elementary. Mathematician That's trivial. Physicist That makes sense.
Engineering: “That’s been done.”
Marketers: “Send it to legal.”
By which the mathematician means “I understand what it says, and could prove it in less than an hour. You? …. don’t make me laugh. It would take you 3 years of prerequisistes.”
Q.E.D., B.F.D
Chef (tasting your four-hours-in-the-making sandwich): That’s interesting.
LOL! (Which is saying something—I rarely LOL.)
A scientist once told me that proving his project deserved funding or continued funding was the hardest part of being a scientist.
