Everybodys work has a certain language that goes with it. Mine is heavy on acronyms. There are other words that are morphed into special meanings. I've decided to help you out by sharing some special language examples you can use in your everyday job to make yourself seem smarter, hip and real nerdified.
Today's word is LOS (pronounced L..O...S...not loss). It stands for Loss of Signal, a condition when a satellite, or space station etc. is located in such a place that the signal from the ground is lost. Usually for a short period of time, like 5 minutes.
In everyday slang use, you say "Sorry, I just went LOS on you". This means you weren't realy listening or didn't hear what was just said. If you have a disagreement between two groups you say "I just think they went LOS on this subject", which of course means neither was really hearing what the other said, and couldn't reconcile the difference.
So there you have it. Use at will. Just don't go LOS on me. And please feel free to share your special languages, particularly if they'll make me appear less nerdy.

So te master form we have is a HUD 50059. Contains names, ssn, birthdate, income, allowances, calculations, etc. So much stuff on it that to fit one page takes it down to three columns of condensed print. It of is shortened to five nine. As in "what does that look like on their five nine?" "can you send a new five nine on them?" and the best as a couple had twins.."ouuuu now that's gonna affect their five nine..."
