Years ago, gawd, late 90s, I was in a boards design group and we used a database system called SPEED (Systems Product Engineering and ECO Database). Amongst other things the system was used to store and manipulate BOMs (Bills of Material). We had a technician whose job assignments included managing this system for us engineers, being as we're typically too
dumb busy doing important stuff to do it right ourselves.
So one day the division had an event and people stood to introduce themselves. Our technician gave her name and said she was "the BOM tech on SPEED."
And immediately looked like Ross Perot after saying he was all ears.
And people laughed. Ah, good times.

I'm reminded of a high school friend who, after some bad moments and bad relationships and moving back in with her folks, etc., bought a Chevy "LUV" (light utility vehicle) -- does anyone remember those? It was a small open-bed truck, not much longer than a sedan of the era. One day a neighbor curious about new cars on the block asked her "Oh, are you the little pickup?"
