Wally's whispers

A politically correct alternative to Chinese whispers, particularly suitable for the modern workplace where miscommunication is caused by middle management idiots not understanding anything but still desperate to impress, rather than by language difficulties.

Programmer to middle manager: We need to deploy X because A happened. Please ask the client before we proceed.
Middle manager to client: we deployed X so now B is supported
Programmer (on reading the minutes): ugh, Wally's whispers strikes again
