  Totally agree with you there. I’d like to believe he did next time they talked.

    it’s like how every so often you have to tell someone referring to the final design for a software project as “the final solution” is probably not the best phrasing

      In my first practical chemistry course I referred to a container filled with gas as “gas chamber”, to make things worse I am german…

        Could have been worse, “gashole” doesn’t have the same ring.

      An industry publicist once did a lecture to us and one of his slides was “the final solution to the emission question”. He did mention that it was his colleague who titled it lmao

        That’s so much worse. Solution and question aren’t as natural a pairing as solution and problem or answer and question, and the only only example of them going together as an established phrase that comes to mind is the nazi one.

        If the coworker exists, they must have hated him

    Probably, I assume they were just tired and wanted to sleep at that point though.

  I’m such a cynical skeptic so when I see such back and forths I tend to assume they’re fake. It maybe not? But it ends up being worded in a way that’s funny to post as an image, but doesn’t feel like a real conversation.

  It means the same thing as sticking your chopsticks in the rice so they stand up, or as pouring a couple of drops of your alcohol on the ground.

  It’s universal. You just have to find the local way of expressing it.
