That one is awesome :laugh: I like this one, too:
I remember once the then-chancellor Gordon Brown saying he was 101% behind Tony Blair, to which people reacted 'What? Only 101?'

Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

Idea showers? That just sounds, well, dirty :~

Ones we have here that aren't on that list include where the rubber meets the road and do the hard yards. Not a clue what any of it means. Don't want to either....

My fiancee’s a teacher and they have been told they must refer to white boards as "wipe boards" to prevent the negative connotations of racial supremacy that come with the implicit preference for white boards over black boards. My view: White boards are far better than black boards. I will continue to call them that because thay are boards that are white.

If they were called honkey boards I could perhaps understand the desire to use an alternate description.

Somehow, taking a shower with some of the project teams I work with, is a picture I'd rather not see. Not to mention that any ideas generated would probably have nothing to do with the project anyway. :)

I guess this means paper scraps and such will never be called 'white trash' even though it's mainly white...
I can just hear it now, 'just off down the tip to recycle the honkey trash dear, won't be long!'

I worked in a culture where even 'challenges' was considered to have a negative connotation. You didn't have problems, or challenges, you had 'opportunities to learn' :wtf:
Shucks. With all the "opportunities to learn" that I've had to deal with in the last 30 years, you'd think I'd be a lot smarter. :doh: :)

"Learning curve" still makes me cringe. But worse, last week I was watching a video of a guy assembling a model for a model railroad. Every ten ten seconds there was one of: "First we'll go ahead and ..." "Then we'll go ahead and ..." "Next we'll go ahead and ..." "After that we can go ahead and ..." I still don't know why I watched the whole thing. X| "OMIT NEEDLESS WORDS!" -- Strunk
