So it turns out that Nosy Coworker didn't actually know where the power button was on the printer.
Conversation, over the top of the cubicles, I was a part of just a bit ago.
Cube worker 1: When using "big no-no," would I put a comma between the no's?
Cube worker 2: Is this for your son?
Me: I would think that you would hyphenate since you're making it one word.
Cube worker 1: Okay. No this is an official thing.
Me: Let's see what the dictionary says [I've taken to looking most things up in the dictionary lately and love my Webster's 11th ed.]. It's hyphenated in the dictionary.
Cube worker 1: You see it's official, it's in the dictionary.
Me: Yup. Webster's 11th has it.
