Does numismatic terminology slip into your professional life (or am I just losing it)?

Longacre

I was on a call today with a lawyer whose name was Dave Bower. I repeatedly referred to him as "Dave Bowers", even though he reminded me of his true name. I also work with a guy called Gerbrecht. I frequently spell his last name as Gobrecht. Does anyone else do these sorts of things, or am I just losing it?

Losing implies present tense, a continuing action.

You might want to consider past tense in this particular case

In my 24 years as a practicing lawyer, I have never used the word "numismatic" in a legal brief, pleading or other such document.

Hmmmmmm................, I will have to think about how I can place "numismatic" or similar hobby oriented word into a legal brief, pleading and/or use same during a trial or law and motion hearing.

It is always interesting to see the reaction of a judge, opposing counsel, etc. to a word that they are not familiar with.

Any suggestions Longacre?

Wright you are, but don't Weinman. Great Scot, there's the Barber, the Gardner, The TV show "Fraser", and when people mention a Kennedy, it is the Kennedy coin, not a person we might think of first.

Spit happens. If we offend non-numismatists... Well, I didn't invite them here. (They're your friends, you can pronounce their names) I guess we have to put up with smoe guests, but I am not about to change the way I spell or pronounce things or the way I think (if you can call what I do "thinking") just to suit a bunch of non-numismatist cretins. Sheesh

Does numismatic terminology slip into your professional life...

What is this thing you call "professional life"?

Coinosaurus

I'm sure some sneak in. "Fresh" - used to describe a novel approach to a problem. "Wannabee" - some person from an external area who thinks they understand how we do operate locally & make assumptions based thereon. "First Shot" - whoever raids the latest vacant cube first

Car lingo creeps into my numismatic life more than coin lingo slips into my profession (car sales).

"How does this coin look?"

"Whoa, I'd say it's waaay back of book."

I don't think I've ever used Numismatic terminology at any time at work, near work or even thinking about work. No one I associate with would know what I mean if I did. when at work, think like work. When at coins, think coins.
Used to work alot with Nuclears and no one I know ever wanted to hear about that either.

I've used Wannabe often, but it's not exclusively numismatic.

I can see it now...

Longacre on vacation, walking along a beach, Mrs. Longacre back on the blanket. He sees a bronze babe and calls out to her, "hey babe, nice toning..."

I work for a home builder. One of our models is called the "Kennedy". We are building one now on a lot #64 so all my paperwork has 64 Kennedy everywhere. Even when I am trying to work, I can't get away from coins.

Often times I have to remind others in my profession, that standing around RUBBING their ORBS could land them in a BODYBAG. Fall protection is imperative unless you want to get SLABBED. Plus, you can't run a pneumismatic nail gun without a compressor
