Is this related to the "ending every sentence with a question mark" (valley girl) thing people sometimes do in order to seem less assertive and nonthreatening?

I don't know about all the rest, but I've noticed that it isn't just valley girls who do this any more.  Instead, the more dumbass students (not just undergrads) and brand new dumbass employees all seem to do this a lot.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'd flunk you both in my Supply Chain Management class.

What is Supply Chain, anyway?  Chopped chain?  No, it's chopped steak.

It's when you make a chain out of the paperclips from the office supply cabinet.

Anyway, I don't think it's passive-aggressive.

Apropos of nothing, but the phrase that's really been annoying me the past year or so is "wheelhouse."  Ugh.  I hear it everywhere now.  It's just so hip.  That is, amongst lame 30 year olds.

Well, it's an important body part, unlike CDM or I, anyway. -_-

It's just an excuse to come up with nifty methodologies that one needs to be certified in as a Supply Chain Professional in Supply Chain Management by the Institute of Supply Chain Management of America, not to be confused with the American Institute of Supply Chain Management or the American Association of Supply Chain Managers.
