M. T. B. S. (Mean Time Between Stupid)

Friend of mine (died young). Engineer. Used to expressions that I adopted.

(a) MTBS or, mean time between stupid, was a play on “mean time between failure”. Referring to how frequently an individual was likely to say something stupid.

(b) “floating pins” meaning, an integrated circuit chip that would produce random outputs despite constant inputs. And referring to humans that did the same.
