The more pretentious the language, the smaller the person. I could cite lots of examples, but the late W.F. Buckley comes to mind first. A guy who had been to lots of good schools and who could quote the great and the not-so-great thinkers, but who seems never to have had an original thought in his life. > Or mothers of invention, I guess. I wonder what you will invent after being gifted with extremely powerful weed :) Davoud -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

Comes from those extra credit presentation and report writing courses the Fascist 500 send their hi-pots (high potential employees) to. They're instructed to always use 'action' words. If you don't know how to use a dictionary or thesaurus properly, just claim you can turn a noun into a verb while you're turning the water into wine, or excrement into rose petals, at the Board meeting. Reminds me of Dilbert's boss. |
