Sure, when I'm feeling nice. Some situations call for a flippant answer though, like when I'm on the third straight night of a co-worker complaining that he's on bathroom patrol this week.

Haven't heard that one. Sometimes I wonder if some of these phrases are industry specific or if they simply take time to travel from one region to the next. I still hear a lot about 'engagement' around here, hoping for some new buzzword to take it's place soon.

"Snow flake".


We are all as unique as snow flakes...no 2 of us are exactly alike. And yet, the word is used as a pejorative. Usually used to make fun of someone in a minority situation, trying to bring awareness to their minority.

Snowflakes easily melt.


The Left and Right both use it now when somebody complains about or reacts to something they dislike.


Classic example of a snowflake:

"I'm not gonna lie". Well, I hope so! Does that mean everything else you told me is a lie?!?
