Quick and Dirty
Yes, I said it. Why, you ask? Because it seemed the thing to do. I've been in training this past week, and every single solitary professional I've come in contact with has used it in one context or another: in describing a book; in describing their teaching technique; in explaining what we'd be doing over the course of the next hour; in explaining how the coffee maker works...
It creeps me out. I don't think we're given our "shushes" when we graduate, I think we're given the rights to the saying, "quick and dirty." Like we feel we have some responsibility to inflict this terrible phrase on the population as a whole.
Has anyone else encountered this phenomena?

For me, I'll know I've been trained in the art of evil when I can successfully use the word "problematize" with a straight face. That's my fate.

At least it isn't earings that match the seasons... Sigh.
