Deep Anal and a Period
Deep Anal and a Period
Well, now, how often do you get to see International boo-boos that technically are major HR violations occur? I'm betting not very often for most of you. The off-chance for some of you and most likely for me. Piff, if you're reading this (and I know you will), you too.
Let me tell you how important it is to read an email for grammar, for punctuation, for spelling and for context. Context is something people just don't seem to understand. But most especially, remember the possibility that abbreviation...is not your friend.
Deep Analysis...a term that could inhabit the pysch ward, or NASA, possibly certain, unmentionable Federal agencies and often used in the malware world. It's how we trend out future outbreak potentials and how we build better defenses. We analyze a threat to counteract its potential harm. But we can go further, deeper and often will. It's a useful tool, a useful idea and yet, it does not lend itself very well to abbreviation.
Deep Anal. That was how one Irish manager put it. In an email, for all to see. I'm sure the manager was thinking Deep Ahn Owl, but really, imagine that coming into your work email. Deep Anal. Seriously, it wouldn't have been so bad if within the context of the sentence the manager had written Deep Anal(.) as a way of showing that it had indeed been abbreviated. No, it comes as Deep Anal without a Period.
Fortunately, to work in my area, we have a test. We show you videos of Japanese game shows. The very best in Japanese game shows and if you're not rolling on the floor, crying, wheezing and red in the face...you can't work with us. We have the sense of humor of 12 year old boys. We inherently recognize that Deep Anal without a period is wrong, wrong on every level and we gleefully take that HR violation and run with it. We couldn't leave it alone...Oh Hell No. But then we overstepped even the boundaries of Poor Taste...Deep Anal with a period = Bloody good Porn. There's a special hell for someone like me.
Deep Anal and a period...it wouldn't have been so appropriate to exercise that abbreviatory practice, face it, it's not a win-win email. But then it wouldn't have led to so many raunchy, dirty and hilarious jokes, puns and commentary. Besides, even with a period, it's fun writing
