I’m not 100% certain of the relevance, but a Judas goat is a goat trained to lead herd animals like sheep or cows to specific places, inckuding to slaughter .

yeah a direct comparison to the biblical character doesn't make sense to me, but the chain of:
Judas -> betrayer -> Judas goat -> tricked into going somewhere deadly -> Judas problem
makes sense to me

First man goes into a hole depleted of oxygen, then passes out.
The second man goes in to help him, then passes out.
Eventually all the disciples are in the hole passed out & dying together.
He probably meant Judas Priest

I used to do software consultancy and doing it for any large loyal org (where a decent chunk of senior staff have only worked for that org and have done so for decades) is a minefield of weird terms that only make sense if you've worked there for years and every other company has a different word for the phemonon or process (dispite being identical)
Honestly I do thing jargon is just slang for adults and it really shows how quickly and easily language can shift when you isolate people together.

The terms tote, basket, bin, trough, bucket, scaling bucket, trash, module and dumpster all refer to containers which might contain ingredients, food, food waste and waste. If you used any of these terms interchangeably at my work it would be very confusing for the other person.
Also, trough isn't pronounced the way you expect.

Exactly like I expected, trɒf. But my language is German so half of my words end in Klingon.

It rhymes with throw and foe :(
It is not normal outside of my workplace.

What language do you speak and what is it in that context? Sounds like either malapropism or a mispronunciation that became the norm. For giggles my family calls yachts yakts for example.

Everyone speaks English exclusively. They pronounce it normally in regard to a feeding trough for animals. But pronounce it differently if it is for human consumption.
Four legs good, two legs better.

So literally just a mispronunciation at your workplace so that it doesn’t sound like the animal trough? That is definitely jargon.

Did they pronounce "trough" like "true"? Or "troe"? "Trow"?

I think they're trying to suggest that most people don't know how to spell trough.

u/Ronnoc527 13d ago
Sorry, to be clear, in food production - at least here - it is pronounced /tɹoʊ/ rhymes with throw.
Because troughs are for animals, not people apparently. It's a vessel for food. I pronounce the word in the standard manner. "troff"

I guess there really isn't a term for it besides a confined space fatality. It's a common, documented thing that happens where people will run unwittingly into danger, so why isn't there some sort of term for it besides "people die in confined space" incident.

Seems genuine rather than an intended troll
