@slightlyoff Corporate jargon is really something. There's definitely an anthropology/linguistics study that could be done on stuff like this.

@dletorey @slightlyoff @zachleat I think there are some valuable learnings here that we should socialize with the team at the next town hall.

@slightlyoff "inbox", "double click", and "delighter" strike me as especially org-specific, but at least with the last one I had a chance of guessing the right meaning

Could you give examples of the first two?

@dotproto "One of X team's asks was that we inbox their code in our next release."

Absolutely cursed.

@slightlyoff @dotproto I learned first about these terms when I read that Clipchamp is now a Windows inbox app.
