It's not crass, nor is it discriminatory. Laying out a circuit is the equivalent of getting it fabricated. Terminology is used at AMD every time a chip is shipped/sent to pre-fab/taped-out/laid/fabbed/traced/etc:

- phunge 14y agoIf enough people find it crass, it's crass. I find it crass, enough to not click through. Sure, layout is common terminology in EDA. Getting laid is not.
- sliverstorm 14y agoIt's "laid" vs "layed out". Nobody says, "I laid my circuit today".

The other three all use "laying out a circuit". None of them used "laid". Luckily there are very many search hits for "laid out a circuit" (some about cycling, etc) or "laid out a PCB", so it's common usage. But "Gets your circuits laid" is clear sexual innuendo.
