"I thought we were having a smooth interview?"
"Oh no, I said DDoS! That's what I call a smooth interview."

"Uh huh, what region?"
"Uh.. Bay Area?"
"Really? Well I'm from Oakland and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'DDoS' to describe a smooth interview."
"Oh, not in Oakland, no. It's more of a San Francisco expression."

"Y- Uh... you know, the... the one thing I should... oh look it's back up!"

Consumer microwave ovens work in the 2.4-2.5 GHz spectrum. Just connect to a 2.4 Ghz only wifi, and make a popcorn, and you will lag as hell.

It's an Albany expression.
