Got Greek?

Have you ever talked to a mechanic or someone who speaks "tech talk?" and felt like they were talking another language? Computer geeks like my son Dan speaks fluent Computer gizmo-ology, my step Daughter Becky who is a Doctor of Lazer-bio-whatachma callit of things that go BZZZZap in the night and my dear wife, Ruth who is a teacher talks in Teacher-student-principal-state rules and regulations pertaining to teaching testsology.
When a person has been involved in any job for a period of time and works in that function 8-12 hours a day they tend to think everyone speaks and understands their technology terminology. I really do want to understand what they are saying but when they start throwing around stuff like C-Sap tests, correct use of the coordination (balance) ball; advantages of a gyroscopic heading indicator (versus a compass), Temporal (or longitudinal) coherence implies a polarized wave at a single frequency whose phase is correlated over a relatively large distance (the coherence length) along the beam.
When your mechanic is explaining the reasons your car goes Ka-plunk or RRRRR-Plunk or Ping ping Pow and he is using terms that sound like something a space alien would utter one begins to wonder if they are really using real words or if they are just repeating what they heard some Klingon using on an old Star Trek show.
Is it important that we all know what other people are saying to us? Usually us old guys can't understand or hear the other person speaking in simple English. At that point we just nod periodically and smile or look concerned depending on the other person's expressions.
I have a theory on the old term "I do it periodically." This term when uttered by a teenager means once a day, Periodically to someone who is 20-30 years old means ever few months, to a person 40-50 means every year give or take a year or two. When one gets to be a senior citizen 60-80 the term "I do it Periodically," means every decade give or take a decade or two.
Anyway here is today's comic strip.
By the way, Bob the grease monkey is saying in Greek, " Still need to fix the tires, the wings and the propeller is still broken." Give or take a few words.
