1. overkill; using more means than is necessary to solve a small problem
2. ech? I don't know what that is. But s a v v y means smarts, or understanding. Like being technologically savvy means you know what is current in technology. You know how to use it to your advantage and know where technology is headed.
3. cutting-edge tech: state of the art; the latest; the inventions that will usher us into the next stage of technological evolution
4. loose mouth menaces - people who gossip or disclose secrets are nothing but trouble for the rest of us
5. cinch - easy; simple. I'd categorize it as informal, though it's not a slang term. It depends on the context whether you'd use it or a synonym
6. embracing - adapting and adopting; you adjust to the technological advances (rather than fight them because you don't like change), and you take them on as part of your life(style). Example: someone who has always and only written letters by hand, now uses email as a way of communicating with friends and family. This person has "embraced" technology to communicate.

I even have examine that for English swear phrases, the reason being the French. whilst France invaded England, William the Conqueror outlawed English. it extremely is maximum phrases used aside from low existence English who have been servants and chefs. such quite a few previous English phrases are seen foul phrases. working example, snot potential mucous. Mucous is the well mannered "French" thank you to declare snot. for this reason, the expression whilst one curses is : "Pardon my French."
