There’s been some overuse of a few words and acronyms. We don’t always have the time to read the context so if a word would have you in the HR office at work then don’t use them here.

What happens if the HR department at work uses those words and acronyms themselves?

I honestly can't figure out which acronym is in question here. I guess I'll just hope for the best?

I think we should ban the word "running" unless you are actually talking about physical exercise.

And "kit" unless you are talking about the fox.
The motor in my truck is _________.

If you use high power draw functions without the engine _______ your battery will get drained.

I was going to cut wood, but my chainsaw is not _______ well so I have to go to town instead.

My kid left the water on and it was __________ over the side and into the street.

A River _________ Through It.





But, yeah, running Kifaru wallets, or running binoculars makes me think of a horror movie plot, Revenge of the Gear. Could I out run them is the question?

Thanks for fixing it for me.

The chainsaw cranks fine, it even idles fine, but every time I goose the throttle it sputters and smokes, I get a burning smell too. We all know a chainsaw does not work, the person using it works, so I'm not sure how to say that with fewer words. :unsure:

Lets not even start on if the chainsaw is a BA operator, it may have cut through a roof or two, but never blown a door in the sand box. So, it does not operate.... :unsure:

I'm still trying to decipher what the word is!

Could be harmless?
Could be an insult to someone's intelligence?
Could be a sexual insult?

I'm baffled I tell ya!
