I've just had a conversation with a senior developer at a major company related to the work I perform day to day...
And after he'd done explaining something he asked "Any questions"...
I tentatively said "Yes, could you clarify what you mean by 'Vasillity'"...
That's what he was saying "Vasility"... he doesn't - as far as I can tell - have a speech impediment, he doesn't have a cold and he's not usually an arsehole, so I was very surprised when he said to me...
"Don't be a smart ass"...
I'm not being a smart ass, I really didn't know what he meant by "Vasility"... he got very uppity with me and he left the conversation there.
About a minute later one of the other chaps whom I work with explained "he meant facility, he just can't say it"...
I didn't know this... It's a pretty strange situation, and he can say a whole bunch of other "F" works, including FUCK, which I've heard him say many times; if he'd been saying "vuck" all these years I'd have had a clue.
Anyway, Vuck it, I'm off to use the Vasilities.
