DIJON, you can have that one. While I admire its originality, it’s not a line I can ever imagine passing my lips.

Ah, but that’s part of the appeal: the challenge of finding the appropriate context. I mean, such lyricality has to have a valid application somewhere. Anything else would be a crime against universal aesthetics…or something like that.
And people used to tell me I needed my mouth washed out with soap, but on the SDMB, I’m a poet.
damn funny story, hardygrrl! i was working in credit and i got a very suspicious app. i investigated it and rejected it. in my notes i put the reasons why and also “WNFTGAS-PWACD”. my decision was over-ridden by management.
when the loan went to first payment default (eventually given up and written off to the tune of about $17k), the collector tried like hell to make sense of my note, trying to figure it out by typing with fingers on the wrong row etc. she finally asked we what it meant.
i told her it stood for “Would Not Finance This Guy A Six-Pack With A Case Down”
Yep, got a miilion of them. I really enjoy when someone tries to call in and pretend they are their spouse, because I can’t tell the difference between a male/female voice.
All I have to do is put them on hold, run a demographic search on the phone number, find out their name, get them back on the phone, and nail them.
