reaction.Someone said this to me in an email yesterday. He did preface by saying it was "cheesy," but that doesn't let him off the hook.
I didn't come in the thread to report that, though. I came in to see if "popcorn" has been discussed regarding its usage in meetings? For anyone not having the pleasure to experience it, it's a way of passing the baton. For instance, yesterday in a meeting our "icebreaker" was to talk about how you cool off in the summer.* When each person is done talking, they "popcorn" to someone else in the room by naming them as the next to go.
*Icebreakers in meetings are dumb, too.
  It was an online meeting, and I "coincidentally" had technical difficulties a few minutes in, which were miraculously resolved at just about the time the popcorning ended.I hope you just casually got up, opened up a window and jumped.....
and "fur babies"these are the same people that popularized "besties".
so gross.
more reaction.ÂÂ :X ÂDid you throat punch him anyways?
And this popcorn thing.... Is it like they actually say, "I popcorn to Krista?"
I am only using the laughing emoji because their isn't one that communicatesÂÂ :X Â
No idea who started either of these. They're both all over my meetings now. I mean, not a regular meeting, but all of the team meetings, department meetings, cross-department meetings, etc. that are regularly scheduled on the calendar.Âmore reaction.Â
please ...you have to ask this person that started this where they heard of such a thing being called "popcorning"
...and why is he feels compelled to use an "icebreaker"Â
those who allow and support this kind of behavior to continue are to be held as guilty as the "now faceless originators". ÂIt happened to be May 4th so there was a lot of Star Wars memorabilia shared.
There's no "I" in TEAMTEAM
Together, everyone achieves more.

I had to lead one in May where I was forced to use an icebreaker, so I made it an elementary school show-and-tell. That one was actually fun for everyone, because I rock. It happened to be May 4th so there was a lot of Star Wars memorabilia shared.
It's only an hour-long meeting.Did you show all the houses you've bought and sold?
This might actually be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.When each person is done talking, they "popcorn" to someone else in the room by naming them as the next to go.
this dooshbaggery borders on neccesitating public floggings, if not outright prison sentences.Âand "fur babies"
Make it a drinking game next time, but dont share the booze. :X ÂAnd this popcorn thing.... Is it like they actually say, "I popcorn to Krista?"

Methinks I use that one from time to time. Â“methinks” and “full stop” make me stabby for some reason

Just reading this made me want to bang my head on a wall. I can't imagine what would happen if someone tried this in a meeting I was forced to attend.  Also, would drinking a big glass of bourbon be an acceptable demonstration of how to cool off in this context?Someone said this to me in an email yesterday. He did preface by saying it was "cheesy," but that doesn't let him off the hook.

Mr R's reaction to this would curdle milk. The look of scorn was palpable.I didn't come in the thread to report that, though. I came in to see if "popcorn" has been discussed regarding its usage in meetings? For anyone not having the pleasure to experience it, it's a way of passing the baton. For instance, yesterday in a meeting our "icebreaker" was to talk about how you cool off in the summer.* When each person is done talking, they "popcorn" to someone else in the room by naming them as the next to go.
Are they being used in the British sense? If so, it's okay. Otherwise, not.Cowboysfan8 said:“methinks” and “full stop” make me stabby for some reason
No … No, man ... S##T NO, MAN! I do believe you’d get your a## kicked for saying something like that.krista4 said:I came in to see if "popcorn" has been discussed regarding its usage in meetings?
I haven't heard that since the 60's. Also "Gentlebeings".I received a letter at my office that began: "Dear Gentlepersons"
Even worse is when it's used as a verb. "Simone Biles is the greatest gymnast ever. I stan."Â :XStan
It's apparently a combination of fan and stalker. Used when very excited/obsessed over something. Some say it's also a tribute to the Eminem song.
If you ever watch the Senate in session on C-SPAN, they will refer to female senators as gentleladies, as in "the gentlelady from New York votes aye".I received a letter at my office that began: "Dear Gentlepersons"

Pass approved.Day after Easter 2019, my niece's husband (~55yo) had an aneurysm/stroke. He somehow survived a brain bleed that should have killed him, and has spent 2+ years re-learning to walk, talk, etc.
His wife and sons adopted this phrase as something of a mantra to get them through the long rehab process. I have a bit of a soft spot for it now. I may even have a t-shirt with it printed on the sleeve.
What are people supposed to refer to it as? I don’t think one can retire proper nouns.Tik Tok
Marimbas?Vibes. I admit I enjoyed it at first and I do think it describes something well but at this point it’s just too much. We have to come up with other ways of describing the feeling you get from something.Â
wrong.I tend to hear more cowbell.
