I feel like choaking [sic] something.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

However, disintermediation is a good idea.
Cutting out the middle man saves a lot of time and money.

Oh...



you weren't talking about that part.



... right.
I'll just go sit over there---------->

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"Disintermediating". I just saw this word.

Goddammit. Humans get the hell off my planet. 

I was just bitching about this sort of thing.

I'm just going to assume that everyone who uses shit like this is speaking gibberish.

"I'll whoala an action item in the parking lot so we can lebodiada the integarardta stalidarara of our core competency mideshare offline."

"Sorry man, didn't understand what you were saying. Could you say that again without all the gibberish?"



Ah, I've got it now. This is an actual LANGUAGE called Gibberish. Well, we don't pretend that the Mexicans or French speak English either, so I'm going to treat Gibberish the same way. Damn Gibbers can go back to Gibberistan.

Incidentally, "parking lot" is the term we use here to indicate where we put questions or issues that are not germain to the meeting at hand, but should be discussed at a later point.

For example, if we're talking about values in the suspense report that haven't yet been applied to accounts, a question regarding the enforcement of external carriers' 30-day limit to comply to fund requests gets "whiteboarded in the parking lot".



Oh, no!  I'm revealing how fun and exciting my job is!

"Let's you and me step into the parking lot to discuss this." just doesn't sound like as much fun, anymore.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Also, "whiteboard" is not a fucking verb.

Do you actually have to talk like that at work, or just put up with it?

Do you have a valet at your meetings who is in charge of logging the parking lot items?

We do.  In fact, I was the valet this morning.  I didn't write a fucking thing down.  

[LMNO]

It was upgraded to incentivize the value-add.

I try to avoid it, but some of the upper-management drones only respond when you speak in Gibberese.

If it gets that bad here, I shall be forced to cleanse the temple.

See, that's the problem with Gibbers. If they just STAYED in their little country of Gibberia and spoke Gibberish there, it wouldn't be such a problem. But the State University of Gibberia puts out so many damn MBAs every year that they flood out into Europe and North America. That, and people go there to get their degree, thus picking up Gibberish.

And the Hallmark of Gibberish is, due to it's location between Spain and France, and it's close history with Great Britain, to the average American who hasn't spent any time studying Gibberish it sounds halfway between English and complete nonsense. Sure, the /base/ vocabulary is from English, but the rest of it is not. It's like expecting an Englishman to be able to understand a Scott.

So, I think it would be good to pass legislation requiring all Gibbers to speak American while in country. It's not that I have anything against their culture, I just think it's a hell of a lot less confusing, and would point out that we don't pretend Mexicans and French Canadians speak English either.

[Payne]

Kai: Only if you force choake them.

LMNO: You are one scary motherfucker, and I fear you deeply.

Roger: Whiteboard can be a perfectly usable verb if you are applying one to the head of middle management at great force, and I think it's time we took that verb back. For the children.

[AFK]

I whiteboarded our staff meeting this morning.  I whiteboarded them good! 

[AFK]

I whiteboarded them so hard all they could taste afterwords was Felt Tip!

[The Good Reverend Roger]

While we're discussing the mangling of the English language, it's "choking".

[Luna]

While we're discussing the mangling of the English language, it's "choking".

I was kind of enjoying the irony of that, myself.

[Kai]

While we're discussing the mangling of the English language, it's "choking".

Yeah, I don't spell well. At least, though, I don't make up words.
