I have an archiect friend who actually uses the term "DQ'ed".
He said to me one day - 'I got DQ'ed by a lady today'. I said what, a client disqualified you? WTF is that about?.
He said no 'I got Drama Queened. I spent the rest of the meeting smoothing ruffled feathers.'
Hey Mal - maybe you could add that to your 'software training lexicon'.
BTW, I can't believe somebody hasn't paraphrased Tom Hanks - ' Crying, there's no crying in software '
