Today, giving a practice for my upcoming job talk, I presented to several colleagues who didn't know my work at all.
One of them, a social network analyst, was very confused during a few of my slides. He had me pause, explain a piece of the talk, and then explain again. Then he stopped, and nodded.
"Ah! This is the disintermediation of the intermediary in a transitive triple!"
I can't say that sequence of words had ever occurred to me.
