Crap I'll never be able to slide that into a casual conversation.

Well you could just lie when someone asks what you do for work and say:

"I'm a mathematician actually. I spend the vast majority of my time working with the Cox-Zucker machine."

It's always neat reading an article where I can pinpoint the exact moment it goes over my head. In this instance, everything before "torsion" makes perfect sense, and everything afterward is witchcraft and I will be testifying against Cox and Zucker at the trial

I explain it to you, just stand here and look through the hole...
