(TV: Everything Changes) After considerable experience of TARDIS travel, Fitz Kreiner came to know that when the Eighth Doctor started spouting technobabble, the situation was "very very not good". (PROSE: Dark Progeny)

Despite constantly spurting it, the Tenth Doctor hated technobabble whenever it was used by anyone else. (PROSE: The Doctor Trap) He found that "long words only confuse people". (PROSE: Forever Autumn)

When Amy Pond pointed out that not everyone was "fluent in technobabble", the Eleventh Doctor wondered, perhaps jokingly, what they were taught in school. (PROSE: The King's Dragon)
