My friend Sonic tells the story of his word of the day:
Notesbase.
-noun
1. A legacy system to store documents for easy search, access and retrieval
NB: Not to be confused with Database
Usage: Put this document in the Notesbase.
The discussion started when the new helpdesk pleb asked me where a particular Notesbase was and I corrected him on his terminology. His team leader was listening in and immediately "corrected" my "misinformation". Because Notes apparently isn't a database, because Microsoft said so. I stated it was a database it just wasn't a relational one - to which I was retorted "what other kind is there". So I say "A non relational object store for starters". Alas I am apparently still wrong because Microsoft is more credible than me. Which is actually, and simultaneously ironically, the only valid thing he said in the entire discussion.
So there you have it. Notesbase. It could be one for the FUD files if it wasn't so amusing.
