now your tech support calls can be as fun as ordering coffee at starbucks.
"hi, i'm calling on behalf of customer xyz. i need to have their domain xyz.com unlocked."
"you mean their nswebaddress, sir."
"no, i mean their domain name. xyz.com."
"a domain is an nswebaddress, sir."
"then why don't you just call it a domain name? so, can you unlock it?"
"i can unlock their nswebaddress, sure."
- humbledrone 17y agoThe Starbucks naming conventions drive me crazy because of the fact that they all mean, essentially, "big." So it's impossible to remember which "big" you want for a medium-sized coffee!
- gojomo 17y agoThey always humor me when I order 'small'/'medium'/'large'. But also, did you know there's a secret even-smaller 'short' size? See: http://www.slate.com/id/2133754/ http://www.slate.com/id/2133754/ I don't think there's an "animal style" cappucino, though.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoI always use this video as an example when I'm trying to make a point about perspective (what you call 'big' and I call 'big' can differ) or obfuscation. Plus, it's a really well done take on the Starbucks naming regime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFLs9RI8mSA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFLs9RI8mSA&feature=relat...
