It’s All In How You Phrase It

Every time I visit a different office, I bring them some chocolate from the airport duty free. This time we got to discussing why I bring it… my first description was along the lines of:

I use the chocolate to make up for my deficiencies in collaboration skills.

Later at supper, the more concise geeky description hit me:

It’s Swiss chocolate of charsima +3

The computer programmer at the table laughed. The project manager at the table took a few seconds and then grinned. The engineers looked at me blankly.
