evolution of languageThe proliferation of the word “yap”/“yapping” used instead of “talking”. Apparently, it’s lost its negative connotations after some tictoks and now means sth like “the ability to talk about anything”
From a golf article about TGL:
Still jars me…
It used to be yak/yakking
Read that last night, absolutely mental.
Luckily they never killed somebody.

Don’t think that could/would happen.
Highly irresponsible though.

Yap and Yack were independent and had different though relatable meanings. Only yap had the origin in dog’s barking and therefore was very negatively loaded. Changing the meaning through memes is not evolutionary. Though of course I’m very mindful and demure now

My new manager is one of those types that wants me to run everything by him instead of just getting on with it. Except he then doesn't reply to confirm anything so it looks like I'm just ignoring people's requests when I can't proceed with them. Annoying.

Bonus’s keep a companies salary-linked pension contribution down - also NI? And when money is a bit tight…funny thing…bonus’s become more limited.

Tusk is not just ‘any old company owner’…If they’re happy with their cars I can’t see them giving a.
Do you research owners of companies when purchasing things?

Most disappointing…
I negotiated a very nice opt out of the company’s bonus scheme worth 50% of the total bonus element. People laughed in the early noughties but weren’t laughing when they realised I was doing very well in extra pension, especially during the banking crisis in 08/09 and the austerity that followed.

People who use the statement 'flounce' and expect anything else from the people they are targeting.

Not a flounce, but I have binned my Twitter (I refuse to call it X) account.
Last few months it has become toxic with extremist views everywhere and that Musk bloke is being an A grade knob and I have no desire to support his platform.
