Another victim of simulposts: **Warranty manager/clerk** **What Exit?** : Your definition of “telemarketer” is actually more of a [dysphemism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysphemism), or even a cacophemism. Then again, it _is_ a more pleasant description of telephone solicitors than the one you’d have posted were this a **Pit** thread… 😃 [/QUOTE] Not true, my definition will get a much less harsh reaction than just saying Telemarketer. 😉 ---
