What Not to Say: Maddening Lingo

When playing with the other children in Cube City, here is some maddening lingo that you should not entertain or encourage:
  • "We've got to make sure that this project is buttoned up." (Um, this project is most likely not a shirt.)
  • "We've got to make sure that this requirement is baked in." (Um, this requirement is most likely not Betty Crocker cake mix.)

When playing with the other children in Cube City, we've got to make sure that we don't indulge in this maddening lingo. Please help me button this up to make sure it's baked in with our Cube City policies.

I really think we should approach this whole lingo business at a high-level. You know, we've got these different buckets. And caveats. We've got those. Oh hell. Low-hanging fruit!

The word "granular" gets under my granola every time.

May the silo protect me from it.
