Wurd of the Day

Premature Articulator: A person who, when engaged in conversation, incorrectly finishes the sentances of the person they are conversing with. The motivation behind this varies, but usually is a result of a failed attempt to seem more intelligent and informed than they actually are. (Wurd courtesy of Gxxp.)

My new manager is the WORST premature articulator that I've ever run into, and is actually the inspiration behind this wurd of the day. Every conversation we have reads like a Saturday Night Live sketch. It's frustrating, extremenly annoying, and ridiculously time consuming...and it's driving me insane.

An example conversation:

Me: Hey C, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to...

C: Lunch?

Me: No...I'm going on a sales call, I won't be back till..

C: 4pm or so?

Me: No..after 5 at least, so I'll just meet you at the restaurant for our client dinner. We're eating at...

C: Asia de Cuba?

Me: No...Koi actually. Let me give you directions. Take a right on..

C: Wilshire?

Me: No..San Vicente. That turns into...

C: Wilshire?

Me: NO. God. La Cienega. The restaurant is a few block up on the right. I made it for...

C: 5:30?

Me: No.

C: 6:00?

Me: NO..it's at..

C: 6:30?

Me: No...

C: 7?

You get the picture.
