[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It kinda was. When I went through the new hire orientation (which yes, they call NEO here), every time one of the HR munchkins chirpily said "onboarding", I would make a quiet growling noise. At the first break, the person sitting next to me asked "So, writer or editor? You've got to be one or the other, with that reaction to "onboarding"".
I was thinking that onboarding sounded like pirates. Which I guess could be welcoming, if you squint hard and tilt your head just right.
I actually got stuck in a meeting today because my brain was refusing to let me say "leverage", but also refusing to come up with another word. Luckily, the other people in the conversation were linguistically Like Us.

She's almost 12 and he's almost 16. (Note to self: buy birthday presents) All their musical talent comes to them from their father, while their mother seems to have contributed a love of roller coasters.
Another one that I could happily never hear again? "Perfect storm". Usually misused ....
