Just had something of a linguistic revelation regarding the "Turbo Encabulator" technical text and the later lecture videos it inspired.
The verb "encabular" in Portuguese means to embarrass or to induce shyness.
The technical text is so precisely derived and perfectly titled, I am even further in awe of it.
