The Only Thing I Took Away From The Meeting This Morning With The New Corporate Guy

I think he said "rocket scientry." And I think he said it twice.

Maybe he confused the adjective and noun in that sentence and believed that science actually modifies the word rocket, therefore inventing the word "scientry."

Or, maybe he had just seen Rocket Science, and was bemoaning the fact that love is indeed like rocket science.

Or maybe he's fucking stupid.

Ooo! Reminds me of the big Tony Robbins-lookin' mofo that used to be the regional manager of a certain giant candy manufacturer that I worked for many years ago that would add -ize to everything to make it a verb, like he was some 7-foot honky Snoop Dogg. Putting the product on a wooden pallet was "palletizing," selling the customer to a display by explaining its 'features and benefts' was "incentivizing," etc. Those are the only two that I can remember any more but GAWD that guy drove us all nuts.

I guess it ain't no golldamn rocket scientry.
