[net.physics] "Physics Jargon"

When I was studying physics, I heard about two Physics professors (one
male and one female) who were getting married although they spoke no
common languages.  We students were puzzled until we realized they could
communicate in Physics.  First they started with the dynamics of weakly
interacting bodies, then they experimented with canonical perturbation
theory, and finally they achieved barrier penetration into classically
forbidden regions.
