Wasn't there a Buffista conversation about this?
Yes, yes there was. And Flea correctly identified the location. Plus there was mocking.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, people at work! Why doesn't the project manager think she's responsible for managing the project??! Even though the work is split up among many people, she could still manage the work! And then why do people keep escalating before talking to all of the relevant people??
I swear to god, I'm going to end up managing this thing, and I just don't want to. You know why? Because it's NOT MY JOB.

Okay, descriptor question:
I used the term "savory" in describing something (a turkey pot pie, IIRC), and The Boy said he wasn't sure what type of flavors/tastes "savory" encompassed. Is it more specific than "not-sweet"? Because "not-sweet" covers a fuckload of foods -- spicy, salty, bready, etc.
For instance, I'm eating vegetable beef soup right now, which is not sweet, not spicy, not salty, and I would say that it's the beef in the soup which makes it savory. But I can't describe it beyond that.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Is it Friday yet?
I think of "savory" as salty and herby with no sweet.

Okay, thinking this through further -- "savory" implies a richness to the food, and a particular mouthfeel that seems to come from fat content.
Add in not-sweet, and I guess that's savory to me.

savory = beef stew.

well, for me savory is not-sweet. however, It also means not spicy or salty either.
I think savory is a combinations of flavors.

savory = beef stew.
Right! But I would also call really melt-in-your-mouth biscuits (American biscuits, not cookies) savory, because of the mouthfeel.
I'm overthinking this, but it bugs me when I can't define a word that I actually use.

ok - a piece of cheese on its own is not savory. however in french onion soup it adds to the beef and carmalized onions to make a savory dish.
