Of course, what gets the goose sauced makes you take a
gander, or something like that. At a previous place
where I worked, the marketing people referred to the
people in the lab as "labbies."
The image of a programmer bounding across the lawn with
a tennis ball in his mouth was probably not what they
meant to evoke, but was nonetheless (how else could I
possibly say this?) fetching.
