(From The Dilbert Newsletter, number 06)
Name the Non-DNRC People
In the last newsletter I asked what we should call people
who are not in the DNRC. The rules were that the name
should sound harmless to them but we would recognize it
as a clever insult. I didn't specify that the name had to be
sophomoric, but most of you accurately surmised that I
would rate those suggestions higher. Hundreds of
suggestions poured in.
And the winner is:
*** In-duh-viduals ***
As promised, sainthood has been bestowed on the winner,
Saint Heather of Beantown.
Usage: "You're quite an In-duh-vidual, Andy."
Meaning: "Someday you will be cleaning the gunk behind
my refrigerator, houseboy."
Although "In-duh-viduals" is the preferred name, any of
the honorable mention names can also be used (see
below). After all, it's not as though the
In-duh-viduals will catch on.
