Reinhard:
My math professor was talking about language (I think some non-mathematician had complained about our using imaginary numbers).
He said that in mathematics we took very complicated ideas and gave them simple names while psychologists and such took simple ideas and gave them very complicated names.
I like a cartoon from a few years ago. Man walking down the street talking on his phone: "Damn, I think I've just taken another picture of my ear."
