I have heard a number of folks speak this way in the past, most of which I didn’t know that well, but have recently heard a friend use it as well and had to stop him right away. This nonsense way of referring to yourself in what I call “router speak” has to be stopped before it spreads across all of our domains.

Please know that you sound stupid when you say stuff such as…

“Thanks for pinging me”

“I need to reboot/reset myself”

and my “favorite”…

“I don’t have enough bandwidth to get it all accomplished today”

STOP! Please stop using the router/computer/networking terminology when referring to yourself, especially given that most of those using it have no clue what those terms really mean. Repeat after me, “I am not a router, no one will download and propagate my ARP tables and as such I will immediately stop saying these things.”

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Annoyed
