In my industry we tend to need to refer to our clients euphemistically. If we didn't, there would be considerably fewer of us.
End User = Some f'ucking moron, being paid $6 USD an hour to answer a phone and rattle off an account balance, possessing a goldfish-like inability to remember anything for longer than 30 seconds at a time, who likes to call about system errors you just explained away as being nuclear weapons going off at the data center.
Business Tester = Some f'ucking moron who, regardless of how many times you explain to them that there are 6 different criteria used to determine call routing, continues to report bugs regarding the same single criteria when the other 5 pieces of data associated with an account require a call to be transferred regardless of how delinquent it may or may not be.
Business Analyst = Some f'ucking moron who, regardless of how many times you explain to them that no, it is not, in fact, ok to call you with every little issue that arises in a test cycle because if they did you'd sit on the phone walking the other f'ucking morons, or Business Testers, through how to push buttons on a phone all day long, continues to miss the Bob damn boat on evolving in to a sentient being.
Project Manager = Some f'ucking moron who, after the rest of the f'ucking morons run to her when I slip up and call them f'ucking morons for being a little f'ucking moronic, expects that I will react differently when a powerless little f'ucking moron threatens to talk to my boss about it if I don't comply, even though my boss thinks she's an even bigger f'ucking moron than I do.
EDIT: I don't want to make any sweeping generalizations here, because Bob knows I am nothing if not specific, but it occurs to me that the current project my team is involved in deals with all four of the above referenced catagories of f'ucking morons. Can it be coincidence then that the people in all four catagories are strictly women?
