BTDT. Once, when I was doing tech support for a company selling security equipment to self-storage facilities I started a tempest in a teapot because a brain fart made me forget the term multimeter and I referred to it in my notes as a VOM. Later, I almost caused another one by calling a power light a pilot light but caught myself in time.
