Paradigm Strategize Synergy …please kill me know…corporate speak…blech. Actually, I like to say “booger”. Hey, “parse” is a funny word. “Gaggle” “Scuba” “Gargle” “Blurb” “Effervescent” “Percolate” “Rectum” “Bafoon” “Congregate” “Flacid” “Cretin” Use them in a sentence? “Listen up you cretin, if I find another gaggle of geese congregating on my lawn, or I hear one more blurb from you, you can beat your flacid penis until it percolates out your rectum like and effervescent scuba diver, you dumb ass bafoon.” Should I parse that, you booger?
