  8. My current job has very simple vocabulary (we're working on please and thank you), but luckily for all your comment readers, I just got a call from my old employer tonight. (They call at least once a week with questions or advice. This is my third call this week, so I've got a better vocab pool from which to draw.)
    Here we go:
    GUI (pronounced gooey)
    interface (kind of cheating after the last one, but still valid I think)
    KVM (pronounced as three separate letters, K-V-M)
    processor
    analemma
    equinox
    precession
    Dobsonian
    magnitude (as in the apparent brightness of stars)
    scintillation
