No, what they’re describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.

E.g. A German telling his English friend, “I’ll meet you at the gymnasium”. The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they’ll end up at two different places.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!

(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)

They are a wizard, yes. Nobody in their right mind would want to do it for so long.

They also reckon the other 50% is trying to harness the magic by randomly tweaking stuff in the hope it doesn’t blow up in their face…

I worked with someone that’s been designing RF circuits close to 4 decades. They reckon it’s only about 50% magic.

Depends on which dollar we’re talking about. Zimbabwean?

Yeah, nah. That’s not how the term up/downstream is used in the context of product streams.
