brenda m: Someone in my meeting just used the term "downgrowth".
le nubian: take care to put a pillow on the table first BEFORE you bang your head against it.
sue: It would be a much better use of that pillow to smother the person who just used downgrowth.

Sophia: I just read a job description at work at it requires a "two year degree in word-processing studies". Is that even a thing?
msbelle: If it is a thing, it is the worst thing ever.
