The discussion revolves around a game where participants guess the meanings of obscure jargon terms. The term "green weenie" is identified as a type of air filter used in dirt bikes, while "Hollywood knot" refers to a system for identifying electrical cables on film sets. The conversation continues with various jargon terms, including "harrier," which denotes cross-country runners, and "octopus," a secondary regulator in SCUBA diving. Participants share insights about the meanings and contexts of these terms, often drawing from personal experiences or knowledge in specific fields. The game emphasizes the fun of exploring niche vocabulary and the challenges of finding definitions online. The term "buyback" is discussed in detail, ultimately identified as a drink purchased for someone at a bar, symbolized by an upside-down shot glass. The exchange highlights the social dynamics of drinking culture and the use of jargon in everyday interactions.

So pacing is something that is done to people. Is pacing the taking of a census or survey?

Pacing is done to people and another person does the pacing. It is not a survey, but you should hope that you see the person who is pacing you quickly.

No it isn't sorry. This particular pacing isn't highly technical at all. It is still used but there are more modern devices that have replaced it. The person doing the pacing wears a uniform but not medical garb or a lab coat.

Is it setting the pace of some physical activity? Pacing laps around the tack or cadence?
