I knew it!Clearly if enough of us pile on, that obviously terrible person will recant their obviously wrong opinion.
I had a co-worker who used to brush his teeth at his desk. I don't mean quickly brushing after lunch. The was no tooth paste involved. He would just sit at his desk with his tooth brush in his mouth, occasionally brushing his teeth with it. Like, for hours. Annoyed me at first, but I got used to it. Still was kinda weird.Really depends on the kind of meeting we're talking about. Technically speaking, both trysts and assignations are defined as meetings.
Of course, I suppose we could be reading too much into it. Maybe "bedtime activities" just refers to brushing and flossing your teeth, right?
Was he an smoker trying to quit, or an ex-smoker? Sometimes they're more comfortable with something shoved in their mouth that they can fiddle with now and then, supposedly it helps the cravings by roughly emulating muscle memory. Not really any worse than using a pen (which is what my quitter was doing) and better than sucking on a lollipop or something (which has calorie and sugar issues if you do it for hours every day).I had a co-worker who used to brush his teeth at his desk.

Not exactly, but those examples started off as somewhat specialized lingo that was confined to specific professions. I would have thought they'd spread to general vocabularies by now and ceased being notable, but some folks change more slowly than others and some flinch about biological-sounding words ("ingest") easily. I must confess I'd probably raise an eyebrow if someone described their work as "excreting content for youtube" or something - and then go adopt the term for my own usage.Anyone else ever run into something similar?
"Fra-gee-ley? Must be Italian."
Still evokes mental images of royalty in racing cars, which at least makes me happy.You know what would make everyone happy?
Drag queens.
Yes, that is totally how human beings work, and is the best possible approach for eliminating bigotry and hatred worldwide. Any day now...Clearly if enough of us pile on, that obviously terrible person will recant their obviously wrong opinion.
There is no universe where some rebellious teenage sheep hasn't spray-painted "OUT!" at the end of that slogan within a 24 hours of the sign going up.Very much in response to a particular thread that I’ve managed to avoid erupting on.
