"I wish I were your derivative, so I could lie tangent to your curves."
"I memorized the first 300 digits of π. If you gimme a chance, I bet I could memorize the first 7 digits of your phone number, too." (Evidently an old line as everyone uses 10 digit dialing now)
The engineer looks at math and says, "A #2 Phillips screwdriver will do the trick."
The mathematician looks at math and says, *slowly rotates tool in hand, views from all angles, sheds tear* "This it the most beautiful 3/8" drive, 10 mm Ratcheting Socket Driver I've ever seen."
I smiled when they did it on Longmire to represent Longmire and Henry's friendship- they'd never be able to perfectly understand each other because they were White and Indian.
I had a physics professor who gave extra credit to students who learned to swear without detection from administrators (some of whom read Latin). Yes I earned my way into this club ;-)
Cute :) Not too argue with the shark, but that's more accurately Zeno's paradox. An asymptote is a slope, Zeno's paradox is about identical increments.
Why did I just correct that? Please beat me up and take my lunch money.
And I was just hoping that "Hey, Baby - I've found Closed Form Solutions to Navier-Stokes Equations." was going to be a bigger hit with the ladies.
But, alas, no. *sigh*

NERDS!
*fist bump*
I broke up with a guy in college by saying we were an asymptote.
"But... but... We're *holds thumb and forefinger 1 cm apart* this close!"
The difference between mathematics and engineering.

Yep. As a metaphor it's very poignant, actually.

And that is how you got your pseudonym :-)

My husband, a Latin scholar in a former life, was delighted when I informed him "all of girl is divided into three parts" early in our courtship.
Crap. Looks like I'm gonna be Googling Dirty Latin Phrases and Clauses the rest of the afternoon...
Would that make you an asymptote bag?
Boo.

*I* would have considered you fun at parties ...
In all modesty, I'm amazing at parties.
I will waste centuries of valuable training time dancing on tables in Valhalla.
