It sounds like something from the Journal of Polymorphous Perversity.

Subject: [tips] translating "research talk"

A few years ago I remember seeing a very funny article in which research
phrases were translated into what the author was really saying.  The
only
example that comes to mind (and barely) was something like: the article
said, "The research equipment was utilized due to its accuracy..." and
the
translation was something like, "The guy down the hall happened to have
the equipment available".

Does anyone remember this or know where to find it?

Michael
