System Programmer Gets Written-Up For Using Words His Boss Doesn't Understand

When u/clrlmiller took a stand against his idiot boss she looked for every excuse to take offense to anything that she possibly could.

Really, she had just confused impetus with impotent, neither of which is inherently sexual or obscene. Clearly, this bad boss needs to work on her vocabulary.
