I would like to start off by saying I'm changing my coworker's name. We will call him "Phil".
The first thing I noticed about Phil was the fact that he uses the term "foul" in place of ANY of the following: "mess, fuck, screw". He says "foul-up" all of the time. I heard him on the phone with one of our corporate clients saying "Boy, I really fouled up today."
This drives me crazy. It didn't at first, but he says it so often that I can no longer handle it. Every time he speaks it I boil over with rage. I have never heard anyone use this, ever.
Maybe I'm just an asshole.
