"Waxing the Pig"

[kefkafish]

I often have to write long wordy very politically correct emails to people or groups with paygrades much bigger than myself here, and in doing so I like to make sure I haven't let my tourettes slip up and left a giant string of netslang and profanity someplace in the middle nestled between the part where i tell people they're wrong and ask for more moneys. Part of this process usually consists of throwing the email at my Leftenant, Leeky, who has a liberal arts major. The process of having leeky do this has only recently been given a name, we now call it "waxing the pig".
