A routermonkey very rarely will speak to an actual “end user” as their social skills are poor. A routermonkey’s vocabulary consists of mostly acronyms and routinely attempt to explain binary to decimal conversion and the like, generally placing their audience into a hypnotic like state. If forced to explain details of network related tasks to a outsider – most routermonkey’s resort to drawing pictures using a program called “Visio”.
