It's jargon, but I don't know if there's anything more specific. I love jargon! Although in my first job in NYC, all I could for in meetings for months was write down all of the initials that people were spewing -- it was my first job in New York, in health care, in government funding. Many, many acronyms and initialisms...
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I used to have a purple suit, but purple seems to have fallen out of my wardrobe without my noticing it. Perhaps I need purple.

I wore my purple shirt yesterday, unthinkingly. I couldn't wear it two days in a row.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I am wearing my burgundy shirt today. However, today is tomorrow already, so I'm probably doing it wrong.

I loves me some purple. This morning, I forgot my purple. But when I came home for karate, I put a purple tank under my gi.

This story is crazy...Man rescues baby from dumpster, later finds out he is the father:
I hope we don't find out later he was complicit in baby dumping.

Oh thank dog. Finally got my plane tickets for Christmas and Paris (in the spring). I hate figuring that stuff out and making decisions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw another purple shirted woman. She's short-haired and dresses androgynously. The first purplesse was definitely a young hip alternative type. I try not to read too much into wardrobe choices, but both of them make me think it's a bit less likely they were coincidences.
