(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

    When you’re not involved it sucks, but when you are it’s amazing. I’ve gotten really good at ignoring them, but it took years.

    Now a quad copter in the office sounds awful. How tall are your ceilings?

      Yes, and the people who don’t want to be involved have to just sit there and try to work through that chaos. It’s rude behavior.
