I've got my coworker using El Commandante Fuckwit (TM Deb G)
I'm still partial to George W. Backfeifengesicht myself. It's a mouthful, but it really does sum up what I feel about him.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What does Emmett think W. is? Cause I'm assuming at 9 that he doesn't use mom's moniker "That Fucker"?

"Definitely not. Not least because the Secret Service would have you tied into a pretzel and kissing pavement in a nanosec."

But a University of Michigan study shows that the percentage of married women with advanced degrees has grown, not shrunk, over time.
OK, I'm guessing the number of people with advanced degrees has grown over time. Given that, wouldn't the real question be the percentage of women with advanced degrees who are married?
Or the percentage of married women who have advanced degrees? The original statement is totally ambiguous.

"Verbal litter"! What a great phrase. I shall use it every chance I get.

OCR! There's a totally commonplace usage of AI that I should have remembered sooner. It's only, like, a chunk of my job.
