I work with this middle aged slightly chunky strawberry blonde (ginger) woman, and she keeps using teenage boy compuer game slang in meetings, its getting a little bit embarassing and people are starting chortle behind her back (we are not sniggering yet, but its only a matter of time till things escalate to sniggering). Just today when some poor guy made a mistake she shrieked "NOOB!!" and giggled... should I confront this northern lass and tell her that she doesnt need to talk like a teenage geek to fit in with middle aged geeks?

Just give her some cheese or chocolate to keep her quiet - that's what I always do.
And well done for being able to understand a Geordie accent - I have to keep referring to my copy of "Larn Yersel' Geordie" so that I can understand what is being said at me (rather than to me).Comment
