Phrases/terms that need to be retired immediately (2 Viewers)

"foils", when referring to powerpoint slides. I have no idea what the origin of this term is, but it grates on me for no particular reason.
Never heard this before.
This. What the hell industry do you work in?
Foils refers to the old celophane projector slides. You had a cart that you wheeled around with a machine on it that had a big light undeneath and an arm above it with a mirror. You put a celophane slide or "foil" over the light, and the light refracted off the mirror onto a projector screen.
I had those in school, you young whippersnapper!!!! :hot:

When said in regards to the wind chill or heat index. Don't know why but it gets on my nerves.
