Tradition can be defined as a set of conceptions, habits and beliefs which are historically established within some social or national groups and which are orally transmitted from one generation to another, defining specific features for each group. The paper aims to analyze some traditional expressions and idioms and the correspondence of their significances with the actual technical or technological context and the actual development requirements. The increased exigencies concerning the insurance of the products high quality, high productivity and generally high efficiency show that new interpretations or significances could be given to some traditional expressions or even the applying of such traditional expressions could be disadvantageous in the modem context. The paper conclusions emphasize the necessity to adequate interpretation or adaptation of the traditional expressions in the actual stage of technological development.
