I meant to write about this 2 days ago when it happened.
There is a new assistant account executive. Monday was his first day.
Mark Johnson, the manager of account exec's, didn't think to introduce the new person to me. So I made some comment about my being a serf, peasant, an untouchable. My boss chimed in and added "...a dung farmer!"
Mark insisted that the correct word is "DONG farmer". He was so insistent on his level of accuracy that he came off pompus. It was ridiculous. We were willing to bet money that he was wrong. He kept saying, "No! It's dong farmer - a term that dates back to the middle ages." I told him that "Dong Farmer means Penis Farmer". He didn't believe me until I printed up the above definitions on Dictionary.com. He hates being wrong. He was so embarassed. He told me the next day that his 6 year old son knew the word Dung.
What a cock farmer.
