adjective
- I believe the etymology is more about machine dials (and gauges), perhaps even precise micrometer dial settings.
I heard the phrase "dialed-in" long before cellphones became common (in the late 1990s). A Viet Nam war vet neighbor of mine was using this expression in the mid-90s: "We had one guy who was a screw-up, till he got dialed-in." (This neigbor was also, later, an automotive engineer for Toyota and Ford.)
The connotation was usually "The drilling rig is dialed-in." Or, "The pump is dialed-in. Turn it on." Meaning, all of the various gauges and dials are fully within optimal settings.
I believe this has to do with machine dials, perhaps even micrometer dials, as in similar roots to "fully miked-out."Last edited on Jan 18 2013. Submitted by Anonymous on Jan 18 2013.
