Approximate transcript of an actual conversation at work, discussing presenting on #DeepSpaceObject s (which was nothing to do with either of our jobs):
Them: "Although I've done this sort of thing so much I could just do it on the fly"
Me: "So what's this ?" (gestures at the air)
T: "Well, let's see, that's M42, so the red bits are emission nebula and the blue bits are reflection nebula."
M: "No, the blue bits are emission nebula, and the red bits are reflection nebula."
T: "No, the red bits are emission, and the blue reflection."
M: "Blue bits have always been emission, and red reflection."
T: "Look, don't you start with that blue emission shit again..."
