I don’t wear shorts whether or not I’m at work. It’s slacks every day for me, no matter how hot it gets. When I get dragged along to vacations in tropical regions, I still wear slacks.
Fun anecdote: I had a Zoom meeting with an upper-level manager at a major multinational bank last week, and he looked very smart indeed in his shirt and tie.
I ran into him in person two days ago, whereupon he admitted that for our call he was also wearing shorts and flipflops (out of view, obvs). He said the delivery driver that came to his house later was very confused by his outfit.
From “Frasier”:
Animal psychiatrist: “And now I have to get to the zoo. They have a hyena who will not so much as crack a smile.”
(I know “1776” was first)
mmm
We had one of the first Targets back in the mid 70s, where I would regularly peruse the Hardy Boys shelf, $1.58 clutched anxiously in hand, hoping a new one had come out.
Even back then, people made that Tar-ZHAY joke.
I’m retired and barely work now so shorts are a common clothing choice for me in the summer. I never had a job where shorts would be allowed.
Nobody but me controls whether I wear shorts while working.
Me and the thistles and rocks and mosquitos and sweat bees etc.; and the cat who’s decided to climb my leg –
I wear long cargo pants. Light colored in the summer. Light loose clothes are actually cooler in summer heat if you’re in the sun than bare skin is; especially if you get the clothes wet.
My closest DQ is still prominently displaying a “Dairy Queen” sign.
I send out boilerplate emails all day long. It doesn’t matter, nobody actually reads the email, it’s only the PDF attachment that they want. Most “original” work emails consist primarily of schedule change notifications, e.g. “I’m going to be leaving the office at 200p today.”
I didn’t know that Dairy Queen officially became DQ in 2001 & refer to it either/both ways.
Full time job - I wear khakis/Dockers & a shirt with a collar & some buttons, polos in the summer & long sleeve ones in the winter though a lot of people wear jeans. One guy I work with will wear a hoodie, jeans, & flip flops. On special occasions I might wear a hoodie or a jersey but try to keep it professional when I’m in the orifice.
Part time job is event production, mostly outside, mostly in nicer weather. I’ll wear whatever is comfortable - sneakers or boots as appropriate, shorts & t-shirts if warm.
I still sometimes call McDonald’s “Mac and Don’s.” And pronounce Target “tar-ZHAY.” But, then, I’m old. 
I sometimes call Target “Tar-ZHAY,” but McDonalds and KFC will always be “Greasy Mac’s” and “K-Y-Fry” to me.
Nope, you’re wrong! It’s Mickey D’s
My wife and I always intentionally mispronounce store names. Just for fun. Sometimes we change words (“Home Despot,” “Slaveway”), sometimes we just use the wrong vowel form.
What I call the company has to do with what I’m used to, what others call it, and how prominent the name change was. So I think think of “Kentucky Fried Chicken”, and probably say that. But i switched to “X” right away, because it’s such an incredibly stupid name and came with so much media attention.
I refer to EY, not Earnst & Young because I worked pretty closely with them when they made the switch, and my husband got a job with them. So really, it varies a lot. I didn’t have a single answer for that poll.
I do not use it, but stuff on that platform is so pervasive in other media and discussion, I just now call it “Xitter” where the X is enunciated as “sh”.
My son tells me that posts there are now called xcrements.
There’s a concert venue in Pittsburgh that was called Star Lake Amphitheater when I was a kid.
It has gone through many name changes (Coca-Cola Star Lake Amphitheater 1990-2000, Post Gazette Pavilion 2000-2010, First Niagara Pavilion 2010-2016, Key Bank Pavilion 2016-2019, S&T Bank Music Park 2019-2020, The Pavilion at Star Lake current).
I have always called it Star Lake Amphitheater.
In Chicago we had Comiskey Park, the Rosemont Horizon, and the Sears Tower, none of which are still officially named those things, but many people still call them that anyway.
In San Diego, San Diego Stadium was renamed a few times over the decades before being demolished. Whatever. A significant chunk of that (20 years), it was Qualcomm Stadium.
A nearby road, Stadium Way, was renamed Qualcomm Way, too. The Stadium stopped being Qualcomm in 2017, but the road remains. I will be cold in my grave before I call it anything but Stadium Way; I don’t mind corporate names on things, but corporations shouldn’t be able to buy the naming rights to public roads. (It’s different if they’re first on the scene: I don’t mind if a road starts out named for a nearby significant company.)
I once wore shorts on a “casual Friday” at the reservations company I did IT work for. On the way back to my cubicle/desk the head of HR saw me and said “you can’t wear shorts in here!”. I paused, looked right at her and moved my hands down to my waist as if I was going to pull them down in front of her. I then asked her, “Would you like me to take them off?”. She quickly changed her tune and said “no, no, leave them on…”. We had a good relationship already so it wasn’t a problem, but I didn’t wear shorts to work at that job after that.
I see automats everywhere in the Netherlands, and at least initially I was eager to try them, but not once have I seen them stock anything that looks remotely appetizing.
