Translating buzzword mishmash into plain speak is strangely tiring.

6 yo: “Mom I learned a new word. When I watch you, I’m preserving you.” If only he could...

Whoever designed days of the week socks and underpants effectively designed family conflict. How much actual user testing do you think went into that product Develolment cycle?

It's about damn time.
