Carl Malamud in Elk: "My favorite term I learned last week i..."

My favorite term I learned last week is "non consensual TED talk" to describe spontaneous bloviation at a meeting or conference.

agreed that that is great.

I also like monologamous.

Saving that for future use.

I am quite embarrassed to say that I am the person at work that gets animated and gives non consensual TED talks. In fact I have made embarrassed jokes about it in the past.

EDIT: I will never be using this term again. It was pointed out rightly that this term using it minimizes sexual assault in a thoughtlessly insensitive way — in an industry where women are already systematically marginalized

bro, don't use this terrm. you're making light of sexual assault and doing it in an industry where women - those who are most frequently affected by s.a. - are marginalized

how the fuck is this something I have to explain to a grown-ass man

I would like to buy more buttons to push “like” on this post.
