favorite part of the article:

“…so that free copies of the song will not spread willy-nilly across the web”

its time more articles used the term willy-nilly.

term heard in a meeting the other day:

another one that needs to be used more often by respectable journalists: “loosey-goosey”

Ex: “Premature implementation of this standard could make the entire system far too loosey-goosey.”

awesome

anyone here who works for big corporations should start going to meetings and slowly introduce babytalk words as if they were the new “buzz” words. executives will be quick to latch on to whatever might keep them in touch with the “buzz” and hopefully in a few months you could have an entire board room speaking in singsongy rhymes and gurgling at each other…

or maybe not…

agreed!

as a test, i will introduce the following term in an unrelated context:

Ex: “While this system is not necessarily stable, there’s no reason for the department to get all goo-goo-ga-ga over it just yet.”

and then…

slightly modify it at the next meeting:

Ex: “While this system is not necessarily stableywabley, there’s no reason for the depawtment to get all goo-goo-ga-ga over it just yet.”

when you get funny looks, just shrug and say that technology has its lingo, and to establish an understanding of the technology, you need a common language.
