Good old techie slang.
Think is all came from not wanting the end users knowing what we were doing when they were within earshot.

Cool. I've never heard this slang before.
But, for sure I could never use "drop the box" because I have actually dropped a box.
Was having a bad day and it slipped out of my hands. Luckily it was still usable - just a dent.
So, if I told my co-workers to drop the box we'd have servers splattered all over the floor!
