    I guess a little translation is in order due to “cultural differences”

    The term “redneck” is anything from a term of endearment to derogatory type casting. It really just depends on where you are and who you’re talking to.

    What you want to avoid is the label “white trash” The differences are subtle but substantial.

    Come on down, after you spend a day in “thinking outside the box”, “we need a new paradigm”, “there’s no “I” in team” type meetings, we’ll go blast the hell out of things.

    Afterwards we’ll go have tea and eat watercress sandwiches with the crust cut off.

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry....you are just so right about what I am going to have to listen to for several hours each morning.

    "New paradigm" is a particular favourite of our CEO. At an informal meeting last year we actually had a sweepstake on how many times he would say it. I think it turned out at 14 in 70 minutes.
