Knee cap to knee cap discussion.This should have ended before it even started.

wtf is wrong with people

I just googled it and found it has been said once on the entire internet

 

[belljr]

So what's with people shortening words to make them sound cute? This goes mostly for college aged girls:-Totally = "totes"-Maybe= "maybs"

Unfortunately the phrase whatever is quite popular in Minnesota. With the college gurls this now gets abbreviated to "whatevs". If your going to use a blanket statement to indicate you don't care about something (that usually you don't want to bother to understand)at least have the decency to say the whole word. This takes not giving a turd to another level. All attraction dies once this falls out of their mouth and ruins it for me.

This 40 year old male uses whatevs and delish regularly.....

"Euro-Zone"

 

[eoMMan]

Anyways.

 

[Fensalk]

"Euro-Zone"

Well it definitely needs its own term. You could say "Europe" when referring to some issues there, but you'd be wrong depending upon what you talking about. For example, the UK does not use the Euro. It still has its own currency, the pound sterling. So most of europe uses it, but not them. "Euro-Zone" is one way to discuss the Euro and Euro-related issues without causing technical arguments by incorrectly referring to "Europe".

DNA.

As in corporate or organizational culture.

'We need to make sure that our new employees get our DNA'. Sounds like an orgy to me.

Today is Saturday. That means I am out of pocket, and don’t have to add some color to get a taste to see if something passes the smell test. I don’t have to reach out or ping anyone. There will be no efforting, no synergizing and no socializing. I don’t need a touch base to think outside the box, an elevator conversation to discuss the company DNA, or a pull-up to perform due diligence on my bandwidth. I don’t have line of site on low-hanging fruit, and don’t need value added granularity to my deliverables.

At the end of the day, from a weekend perspective, it is what it is, and what not.

 

[mr. furley]

You're probably normal, and you using the preface as it was intended. We got a sales guy who uses it EFT and usually it's a one-off depends on a variety of factors answer. It's gotten to where I just blow him off with a 'send me a meeting invite and we'll block off time to discuss'.ETA - has block off/out some time been retired?
