Recruiter: "I'm calling from combobblegibber."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Recruiter: "Combobblegibber."

Recruiter: "Combobblegibber unglebooglerathrasmixomatic."

Recruiter: "We're looking for odlopper."
Me: "You're looking for what?"
Recruiter: "Odlopper."
Me: "Uh....."
Recruiter: "Pull. Apple odlopper. We want apple odlopper."
Me: "OH! You want a Perl developer?"
Recruiter: "Yes. Apple odlopper."
