elephant clicking

When a technical person (developer, engineer, scientist, et al.) uses a UI tool to solve a problem instead of the command line or underlying program.

The 'elephant' comes from the PostgreSQL elephant and the many related SQL GUI clients that allow developers to avoid using SQL from the command line for queries. However, this phrase is not limited to PostgreSQL and can refer to any other GUI or related to tool that allows a user to click around to find their way.

This phrase originated at Even Financial, an incomparable Fintech company in the heart of NYC.

Briggsy the Elephant Whisperer 

Briggsy has, over time, developed the unique talent of being able to communicate with the largest living land animals through the use of his incredibly deep voice which has an expansive range of between 300-600km. He has honed this ability onto preying on any women over 16st in weight. It is rumoured that his deep tones have attractive qualities for these women, so they are easily lured into his miniscule frame.
What's that rumbling? the ground is starting to shake...is it the sound of Briggsy the Elephant Whisperer luring his pie eating salad dodgers or is it a herd of the fat 'meat-wagons' travelling to his lair?
