The MT Word Of The Week for week 14 is...."things of that nature".

The obviously over/under is 18.

This week's bonus word is "splash plays".
 
Things of that nature turned in a below the line performance with zero appearances.
Obviously was slightly less below the line with 14, so the Unders take it.
Splash plays makes the field with 1.
Other words of pedigree that got a hat today were embrace and negativity.
 
Damn, I screwed up with only 1 out of 3 correct. Now I can't even post the Meatloaf video. Bad day.

Obviously, our splash plays came through and we embrace that kind of play. Our negativity and things of that nature have gone, with the release of Mr. Blunt, OBVIOUSLY.



Salute the nation

Shades did not however embrace negativity. It was more about avoiding negativity and things of that nature, if you will, obviously.
 
Did he say, "how 'bout 'dem NINE wins beeeeoooottttchhhss"??? I know he did about 8 or 9 times in his head...
 
I don't know why but when he says "Things of that nature", I always think of that Arnold Schwarzenegger parody "With the so on and the so forth. The dis and the dat"

I have detected that he uses less obviouslys and other catchphrases after a win. After a win the over/under should be around 16 to 20. After a loss the over/under needs to be at least 20 and the worse the loss the higher the number.

That plus I've read the Dilbert comic strip for many years. Management-speak is humorous to me.

I worked for some folks that I was sure used the Dilbert strip to make policy, they are still in business because they are the government.

You should see the email I got this morning from the president of the company at my other job. Every management-speak buzzword and catchphrase that there is. Actually used the phrase "core competency". Comedy gold.
