AVADA KEDAVRA

Carl has joined the cast of Harry Potter with this one:
Lumi-foil I'm going to pretend that it's a spell to automatically wrap your leftovers in a nice foil swan.

LUMI-FOIL!


But no...it's just a Carlism for aluminum-foil.
I asked him "Lumi-Foil?" He responds "Yes, Lumi-Foil. Don't tell me you've never heard of Lumi-Foil"

Our users are nothing if not eloquent and well written.

Carl-isms

From time to time, it's not the users that make you tilt your head to the side and wonder what the hell they're talking about. Occasionally, it's your coworkers. "Carl" is one of those coworkers. He has his own vocabulary and eventually "Carlist" will be on Google's list of translations.

For example:
Ontopawards: "I'm getting all stressed out and ontopawards, I have all these bills to pay"

On top of? Afterwards? Both? Neither?

We'll get right on that.
