Massacre of the English Language by Narcs
Massacre of the English Language by Narcs
There are two narcs in my office with whom I have the severe misfortune to have to work with...but at the same time, they do provide an inordinately high level of amusement for me, personally.
I was raised to speak well...my grasp of the English language is vast...so when I see these two bumbling fools trying to "impress" everyone in meetings with their level of clearly superior intellect...and listen to them massacre the English language as they throw out words they have clearly no understanding of in meaning or diction, I snicker to myself...right after I cringe.
I work for the 4th largest insurance brokerage in the world...we're at a prospect meeting and one of the two idiots throws this gem out:
"Well, you can save money by installing wellness programs...for instance, you can implement a smoking sensation program" <----- LMAO!!!!!
"Smoking Sensation"? hahahaha! It's smoking CESSATION, Einstein.
And then they kinda jumble words together to make one completely incomprehensible hybrid...as I look around the table, I see the furtive glances between the VPs (read: decision-makers) at the prospect. I know we've lost the sale on the spot.
The other one is when I used the word "germane" in a sentence to an insurance carrier...the narc in my office really liked the word...but then went through my communication, as usual, making her teacher's corrections, and told me that I was using germane in the wrong context...germane = relevant. She thought it meant irrelevant...I had to point this out to her...and of course, correct HER...good times!
So narcs at work can be amusing, for real! Anyone remember Alexander Haig? The US Secretary of State at the time Reagan was shot? He was famous for using big words in the wrong context...it's the label I place on narcs who do this kind of stuff...I call 'em "Goin' Haig all up in here!"
I wouldn't let that title out my door...
