Have you ever been in a situation where you have to be nice but wish you did not have to be nice? For instance, you are negotiating a multimillion dollar deal and there is one, small, inconsequential item that costs $1,000. The deal can be accomplished without incurring the fee, but the other side is just not interested. Now hours of time must be expended over this one, minor point for no good reason. Wouldn't it be great if there was a term that could be used in such a situation? I suggest SIUYA (pronounced "SUE-ya"). The response goes like this, "Please, go ahead and double my client's portion of that fee and siuya." Translated, this means, Please, go ahead and double my client's portion of that fee and shove it up your ass."Monday, May 7, 2007

Where did you get this picture? You cannot simply appropriate the likeness of a private individual such as myself and use it for commercial gain. What would my friends say if they saw this? They would presume I endorse your word, or worse yet, this site.
Please feel free to take your objections to this post, roll them up, and siuya.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the Bunchionary Department of Human Resources ("Up With People" is our motto). BPHR has suggested that "anonymous" consult Bunchionary Procedure 34.12, "Corporate Communications" (B-PRO 34.12), Section 13, which begins on page 23 and continues onto page 14, and states as follows: "Team members, by the express terms of their employment (see B-PRO 19.2, Rev A, entitled "What It Means to be Part of a Team") have expressly authorized The Bunchionary, its employees, agents, staff, and affiliates the right to use Team Member images in all situations except those in which the Team Member in question is sorrowful, crying, or in a state of mourning. As "Anonymous" undoubtedly recalls, this standard was enacted in response to events that transpired at company's "Paternity Days" company picnic. At that time, there was discussion that use of images of sobbing Bunchionary Team Members in the Bunchionary Team Member newsletter, "The Bunchionary Bugle," may have unintended consequences.
In this picture, we can clearly not tell whether or not the subject is crying, consequently, this image has received clearance from the Bunchionary Ombudsman, the Bunchionary Department of Public Relations, and the Bunchionary Office of Strategic Communications.
