I'm trying to figure out which professions it is acceptable to say [JOB] Guy?
- matt4077 10y agoI don't think it's all derogatory – it just highlights the fact that there's exactly one person for that job in the organization. I could, for example, imagine a cook being called 'our Creme Brulee Guy' if it's his speciality. Or that character in 'How I met your mother' who had a suit guy, a Yankees ticket guy, a flower guy and – if new needs arise – a guy guy.
- protomyth 10y agoI think its pretty derogatory and unprofessional. See how far Brain Guy goes in an organization with one psychologist. I would imagine a "rebuke" and a remembrance of the word "Doctor" would occur. "How I Met Your Mother" was a comedy, and that what a [JOB] Guy title makes the person.
