Well, maybe not on a scale of Lawyers, but it IS kinda part of the job, no?

So, is this legal jargon, a colloquialism among lawyers, or are you personally an especially witty lawyer?

Inquiring linguists want to know...

I was raised Episcopalian, so I'm slightly Purist of Neutral in that I expect any basic wine-like drink should do. So wine, cider, mead, etc. is great. Beer or rum in a pinch maybe. Margaritas are going too far.

We were anti-wafer, pro-bread at St. Judes!

I will absolutely be cheerfully flirty with someone for niceness, but I won't seriously hit on someone just to be nice, ask them out, or do anything physical more than a hug, unless I'm seriously interested.

Both because I am painfully honest and because I'm touch sensitive. 😏

So I offered to NOT sue over anything that would not have happened to me had I been wearing shoes.

He mulled over my phrasing, concluded it was good, and agreed, provided I was willing to put it in writing. XD

That was the same lawyer who looked at my 19yo bare footed ass and just raised an eyebrow and told me I was obliged to wear shoes, lest I sue them over foot damages.

I had been through this before elsewhere.

The company lawyer (who was awesome) very politely announced that he would NOT be looking in the break room for the next hour, and would NOT fire whoever made those forms as long as they were gone by the time he looked again. 😅

Yeah, our company had just set up anti-harassment training, and a handful of us decided to spoof it because they left out the "anti-" part in the announcement. We printed a small stack up and put them in the break room.

I made a form for that once during the .com boom
It did not go over well...

Is she para-petetic?

I'm wondering where Frybread goes on this scale...

I mean, it's part of the stereotype, but then I try to give the benefit of a doubt that humans aren't stereotypes...
