Quoted: Yeah, I don't really have the bandwidth for this right now. I've got a customer-facing engagement this week, and the deliverables won't be ready until Tuesday. This is a new vertical-market, so maybe I can get them to pushback. Quoted: "Business speak" is the only thing that actually gets on my nerves. "We'll take this offline" "I'll ping you after the con call" "We can leverage our in-house talent" "Let's go after the low hanging fruit" Shit like that. It's insulting to me, because the speaker obviously thinks very little of my intelligence. Why else would they presume I'm impressed by nonsensical bullshit like this? I've read entire emails that went on for 3 pages, when a single paragraph could have conveyed the exact same message. Some folks have forgotten how to communicate ideas. I just want to grab some of them by the neck and say "Stop trying to sound smarter than you really are, and speak like a normal fucking human being". Oh couch it Subnet.

The guy has probably, literally, 1400 books in his collection and is very book-smart and well-read in English/Literature. And he does the same thing in everyday normal conversation and I'll look at him and go, "Dude, no one fucking talks like that anymore, wtf, this isn't 1738."

Shut the fuck up. You mean "in summation," or "after thoroughly considering all factors and implications, the results will likely be as follows." The only thing happening at the "end of the day" is you'll have had your ass kicked unless you stop saying that. ETA: I see I'm not the only one who feels this way. |

Sometimes if I've hit a wall when studying, I'll call up my dad and say hi for a few minutes to destress and calm down. He will then lecture me about the "diminishing marginal returns" of staying awake, while I study economics. The last thing I feel like hearing when I'm banging my head against the wall over an economics or math problem is more economics.

As to "ninja". . .
My son worked for a time at a commercial ambulance company. Most of the people there were minorities. My son (and I) are white. . . My son also runs track & cross country for a college in Manhattan (that's NYC, not Kansas), were most of his fellow runners are also minorites. . .so actually, HE is the minority, but let's not stray. . Anyway, he started picking up the lingo, and would walk in the house announcing himself thusly: "Hey what's crackin' my n(*^%$# ". . . He would also say quite a bit:" N*%%$#, please!" to express a sentiment that might be expressed as " Oh, I don't believe that to be true". Naturally this alarmed my wife (white also). She did not want that kind of language in the house. I was mildly amused, as I realized my son was just doing it for effect––-he's not a wigger. . . However, I of course expressed as much outrage as I deemed it necessary to mollify my wife. I've been married over 32 years––-I know the drill. So. . . where was I? Oh yeah. I was on the snorgtee's website and I see that they had this shirt (since discontinued, to my continual dissappointment) that showed a "ninja" and had the phrase "Ninja––-Please!" So I started to say "Ninja, . . . please!" instead of the less respectable ghetto slang version. . . it now is something I say all the time and with great abandon. So I would hope that if and when any of you hear me, or anyone say "Ninja. . .please!", you will not judge us too harshly and realize we are just trying to politically correct a politically incorrect expression. Peas, out. . . |
