I've simplified it.
I just say, "I'm a code welder."
Either you know what I mean, and ask which code, or you have no idea what I mean and ask me to explain. Either way, conversation started.
And it's much easier than explaining what I actually do so someone who may not be interested.

Definitely depends on the crowd man. I'll toss it out both ways, and if I use the UK pronunciation, it's normally followed by a "TUH-TAYNIUM" at the top of my lungs with a stupid grin on my facecornmuse wrote:What does DNA stand for?Otto Nobedder wrote:Did you hear of the dyslexic agnostic with insomnia?
