Dangerous strategy...
I've been in IT, at every level, for over 20yrs now and there's a million acronyms out there. I've heard most, including duplicates, and many times I can't remember exactly what each means.

Anyway, an interview is a two way process and I'm as interested in finding out if my future boss and colleagues are fakers themselves. You don't want to work for a moron after all. I've sometimes heard people making stuff up or using terms out of context. I usually don't bother to ask, but just look a bit quizzical - which is my way of saying "you're either a moron, or trying to trick me, and I don't appreciate either."

That's not to say there aren't lots of fakers in IT. There are - it's easy to fake quality and most clients won't know the difference until it's too late.
