The guy a couple doors down from me is in a call using speakerphone, and he just used the term "nanotesla".

Yay science!

Many years ago I overheard one woman say to another at a museum exhibit, regarding a note about the composition of some star or another, skeptically, "how could they possibly know that?" and delivered an impromptu lecture on spectroscopy and how cool it is that they can, in fact, know that. I never did know whether they appreciated it, but I enjoyed it.
