I didn't have anything useful to add to this thread except a new abbreviation... I got this one from working on computers all the time... it's a techie term, adapted to this environment, and pretty much explains most issues with cars:

Problem
Exists
Between
Dash
And
Driver's
Seat

The actual phrase I translated into that was "PEBKAC" "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair", which we used as a nice way of telling each other "Man, this computer user is a fsckin idiot."

Usually applies when people talk about things they don't understand, then get offended when you tell them they are making it obvious that they have no idea what they're talking about.
