chit-chat-storm

When you cc all your friends on an email asking a simple question in the subject line and it sets off a mass of useless comments and comments on comments ad infinitum of no use in answering the question.
I asked Google "What does it mean to be an American" and Google's number one answer was an essay by a 10-year-old who doesn't know anything about citizenship and perhaps couldn't find the USA is on the globe, all because somebody who ran a contest for kids hired an SEO expert. So I sent an email to all my friends "How do we get Google to do its fucking job?" and that set off a chit-chat-storm, but nobody had a fucking idea of how to get Google to do its fucking job.

reductape add absurdium

The repeated patching up of a flimsy argument for a ridiculous proposition made by someone you’d think would be smarter.

Reductape is Latin for the process of repeatedly patching something until all you see is the patch and you can no longer see the thing being patched.

Absurdium is an isotope of Einsteinium (Es, atomic number 99) which when present in the brain of even the hugest genius renders them stupid.
Did you hear Trump’s latest claims that the election was rigged?
Yes. It was a case of reductape add absurdium.

The process of getting between you and an intermediary in the name of getting intermediaries out of the way. Recruiters intermediate by getting in between of employers and job seekers for a fee. Disintermediation of the job market would get the recruiters out of the picture. Interdisintermediation is getting between you and a recruiter in the name of getting recruiters out of the picture.
In theory LinkedIn should help me find my next job directly but nothing happened until I paid them a fee. Then I got flooded with spam from recruiters. Great job at interdisintermediation.
