That help desk operator was being a complete knittel...he could have at least been polite in helping me fix my computer.

Yoghurt Knitter 

n A mildly derogatory term for a tree hugging liberal. It combines yoghurt - the food of choice of hippies - with knitting - a reference to the arts and craft movement. It also carries slight overtones of being a wanker.

A yoghurt knitter is generally ineffectual. He impedes or tries to impede others rather than actually going out and doing something.
The yoghurt knitters were at the meeting so naturally nothing got done.

I tried to build an extension on my house but the yoghurt knitters didn't like the design. They said it was too big or something.

I said, "Madam Chairman" but the yoghurt knitters said I had to call her "Chairperson".

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
