Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".
Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?

stored in my gelatinous wetware 🧠
EDIT:

"May your Gelatinous WetWare serve you long & well!" 🧠
Shop I worked in during the '80s referred to programmers generally as "the meatware."
Welcome to the party!

Oh God, I just translated that to your saying.
I’ve let more meat go rotten than my coworkers have ever butchered.
@gilesdring @jessie "meatings"
I can't believe that was just sitting there through the whole pandemic and Zoom and Teams things.
"They want a return to office so we can sit through more 'meatings'."
@Urban_Hermit @gilesdring @jessie
Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings.
They did it by killing all those who opposed them.
@jessie I’ll use that to describe the immense loss of knowledge after people leave too.
“Yeah it’s locked in meat storage that went to market”
@jessie Tried it out, got a one-word response: “crikey”.
As intended, I suspect. Good work!
I like it. Keep it in "meat storage" or they'll lay your ass off the moment they know all you know.
"I need you to document what you typically do each day... "
(Because the guy in India taking your job after next week, likes to work off a script.)
I prefer to give a very technical long-winded yet precise instruction set that only a highly qualified individual can understand well enough to ask about the missing steps.
If the PM immediately sets up a call to go through the information with someone named Abhai, reschedule the call for two weeks out and update your LinkedIn profile.
I have used the phrase "in case I get hit by a bus", dozens of times, right after explaining where my current documentation and project tracking files are located. People die, get hurt, retire, quit, but if your culture is to share/document, maybe it isn't all in my meat-storage. Oh, fun fact, our coldest office space is lovingly referred to as the "meat locker".
@jessie Well they can protest all they like, what are they gonna do, make disgusting meat sounds with their meat?

("They're Made of Meat" video short based on the Terry Bisson short story, about two aliens discussing, and being horrified that their investigations around Humans have discovered they are made of disgusting meat instead of silicon or metal (its never really discussed what the "good" alternative is or should be))

Heh, I like to call it "Imaginary Documentation" and let them argue that it's wrong.
