Harvard Terminology

Harvard Terminology is the ambiguous grouping of words, typically in response to an inquiry requiring action, who’s objective is to leave the inquirer with sufficient hope to stifle the inquiry. This fleeting hope is usually followed by confusion and bewilderment regarding the true nature of this cruel response.

Stacy: That sounds like fun.

Ryland: You know, everytime you use Harvard Terminology, a baby turtle dies.
