understaffed

Today the term understaffed goes ungracefully like a punch in the gut, with "T H E C O V I D" --attempting to play among or prey upon society for an eternity or as soon as y'all flip the switch, channel or station to something else which is likely to miss the mark as well--as an excuse for nonperformance. However, in days of better health or saner health, which in truth were not many and did not last long, it would mean 'everyone is on vacation' or frankly, "they just won't work" and that would be presented in various degrees of panic, sadness and sometimes despair as an attempt to apologize for a lack of service or what may seem more like fraud or default for not following through with what was offered, promised, sold, bought, etcetera.

The term understaffed is quickly becoming antiquated along with other socially accepted niceties, etiquette or protocol and now more than not people do or say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING figuring that most people will get tired of waiting, let it go and regain their composure enough to carry on. However, only remotely amusing only if this is a live interpersonal interaction and one gets to critically assess or admire random tattoos, body piercings, hair or lack of same and other charming, yet oddly impressive hoo-doo voo-do accessories long enough to consider aspects of their momentary significance or importance.
You haven't received your product because we are understaffed. We aren't really sorry, however...things are tough all over.

underbussed

The state of having been thrown 'under the proverbial bus', as coined by (Dr) Marcy Wheeler of www.emptywheel.net (@emptywheel).

Past tense of: A disavowal and possible severance of a previously amicable relationship.

See: Trump knee jerk response to associates under investigation.
"Evan Corcoran will one day be underbussed for agreeing (and in this filing, attesting) to this consensual search; given the way he’s portrayed in this WaPo story, the underbussing may have already begun. But for now, it is the stated version Trump wants to tell."

Understand

I do this perfectly and you are both wrong and bad.
Hym "No, I understand perfectly. You want people to have to do your thing. They don't have to do your thing. And now you're trying to make someone do your thing. Going so far as to take unearned moral authority you accrued by way of failing upwards. Colluding with the government and the religious institutions in a fascistic manner. To make Jesus die on the cross in perpetuity as a facet of reality. Rather than admitting that killing Jesus is wrong. Based on a miss-reading of Nietzsche. Because when Nietzsche said the 'God is dead' he MEANT that God hasn't had anything to do with the structuring of reality for quite some time now. And NOW... All that's left are bloodstained clerics, charlatans, and kidnapped children. He said that... And then he went insane... But Nietzsche was a coward. And I will succeed where he failed... So, yep... I understand perfectly what you're saying. If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. You're trying to lock in the insanity, forever. Which means, there will be poor always. Those who have will always receive more. And the slaves will always serve their masters as though they are serving God."

Understand

There's nothing to understand.
Hym "Who are you talking to and what do you think this is? I can tell from your writing you're a little slow so I'll spell it out to you: I. WILL. NOT. LET. YOU. TAKE. THIS. FROM. ME. If there is something I don't understand it's because you don't actually have any recourse other than ignoring me. And I don't have any recourse other than killing your kids. So, DO I KILL THE KIDS OR WILL I GAIN ACCESS TO THE RECOURSE I DESERVE? Totally binary. There is no other option. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GIVE THIS UP EVER. I WON'T EVER DO IT. I WILL HOWEVER BE WITHIN ARMS REACH OF A CHILD."
