Meanwhile, some former colleagues and I used to generate our own
workspeak somehow:
"anyhow" > "anywho" > "any-hugh" > "any-hugh's-ville"
It's the language of boredom, I think. Went along with adopting an odd
nasal tone and ending many sentences with "and what-have-you."
I think we were yadda yadda-ing before Seinfeld made it cool.
