- lisper 3y agoOh, I know. I used to work at NASA. But I still think it's a delightful euphemism. (And yes, I'm being ironic.)
- sverhagen 3y agoIs it a humoristic (sarcastic) style form, or just a very neutral, matter of fact, professional assessment? I can't tell, in part, I guess, due to esl.
- hoseja 3y agoIt's in a similar category to FUBAR.
- lisper 3y agoIt's not clear either way. But as a neutral, matter-of-fact, professional assessment it sounds really weird because "disassembly" generally implies an orderly process, and this was not that.
- philistine 3y agoThe process is orderly. They tested and designed the explosion very specifically.
- lisper 3y agoThat's not what I meant. Disassembly generally implies a resulting state that makes reassembly possible. This was not that.
