KC Lemson’s post about the Microsoft Vocabulary includes a term that I hadn’t heard before:
“Bob, how long is that going to take to test?” “3 weeks.” “That sounds like a brown number to me.” “Brown number? What’s that?” “It’s a number you pull out of um… um.. anyway…”
Note: I’m not the Bob in this interchange.
Brown number sounds innocuous — in fact it’s also a mathematical term.
And if you put together enough Brown Numbers you’ll be able to create a Brown Schedule with a Brown Ship Date.
