Work vs. Play "Clash of Jargon"

Age Groupers; We are the heart and soul of endurance sports, the bread and butter of sport events; We juggle our addictive -and often grueling- passion with full time jobs, family and social life, but when we do so, the jargon clashes sometimes.

As a Risk Management consultant in a telecom company, I often attend KOM's with PM's and MS during the week, they are Kick-off Meetings with Project Managers and Managed Service engineers. On the weekend however, I attack KOM's using a PM in my ride's MS, which stands for: Having a go at "King of the Mountain" segments using a Power Meter in my ride's Main Set; and that always draws a smile on my face (in both the meeting and the ride), the list goes on ... Have fun:
