I was just directed to a page that lists 70 things to say when you're losing a tech argument. Pretty funny stuff, I guess mostly in wow-that's-so-real way. Some of them you actually hear all the time. Some are hilarious.
The most all-around useful one, IMHO: "Yes, well, that's just not the way things work in the real world."
The funniest one contest, for me, is a tie between: "What? I don't speak your crazy moon-language." and "Yes, yes, we've all read DJB's RFCs on the subject." (mostly cuz I hate Daniel J. Bernstein and all his software and all his rants about why his software is better)
oh boy, here I am posting 2 "geekness" entries in a row, within an hour. sigh.
(thanx Seth)
