Things you learn

A document I was working on this morning contained the line:

"... its muxes can be connected by a leased wavelength within third-party infrastructure."

Y'what? So I looked up muxes.

I eventually learned that it's shorthand for "multiplexers". Equally meaningful within the above statement, though probably not what the author meant, it's the Zapotec term for homosexual. Or maybe, to go by the Wikipedia entry, for transvestite. Either way, who knew? Apart from the Zapotecs.

(Likely answer: I know, probably everyone. My life is sheltered.)
