I met Gregg Weiss, better known to some as ScrambledGreggs, via social a few years back and have come to not only respect his intelligence, but especially his quest for knowledge, his sincerity and authenticity, and most of all his sense of humor. I consider myself truly fortunate to call him friend. Gregg likes to play with words, combining for effect, and then sharing his linguistic logistics with the rest of us. It's time I share some of the best of them with you…
That's when something is such an obvious answer -- instead of writing "absolutely, yes!", write this!
A clever way to mention a number. I like 7even and 5ive as well!
Talking & walking.
When someone says something awkward.
This is for when you have such a great idea that you think it will really set you apart.
Not sure what to say about this one.
This is for when you want someone to call your home phone, aka landline.
When someone uses an awkward word that deserves to be called out.
Used for when you're enjoying a glass of wine on a sunny day.
When someone is so head's down on their cell phone, that you almost feel like you're alone and not with them. My business partner, John Andrews (@Katadhin) calls this iPhone face.
Rather than writing "dial-in included" in a meeting invite, just write this.
Instead of RSVPing "yes", just RYesVP!
When someone or a brand overly blurts out content.
Gently reminding someone in advance of an official reminder.
Well, that's just Gregg being Priceless. But we do need more Weiss, not less!
Lots of smart particles in one’s brain. (via Gina Valley http://ginavalley.com/)
Being real and relatable is the way you build relationships!
When you simplify something by cutting out the extra info!
When you're excited about something but you're not sure why!
When you're getting a lot of opposition to your idea combined with a lot of attitude.
Yummy for your tummy, and Delicious :-)
