At Safeway (grocery store) today there was a little handwritten sign taped to the ATM. It said “DOWN”. I thought “down?” and, of course, looked down the machine. Caught myself just in time. Duh. It meant the machine wasn’t working. As in “the computer is down”. Is “out of order” going out of style with the new computer vernacular? Or is this just another “only in Silicon Valley” bit?
