And on that theme, when I wore uniform we were told never to use the term VIP but instead NP, Notable Person. Which I thought was a good workaround as it separated fame from "importance"
- labster 9y agoPerl Conference first-time attendees are VIPs: very important to Perl. This separates authority from importance. This might be their only visit, so we should make it worthwhile. On the theme that anyone can save the world, I think of the Lord of the Rings. And particularly of Samwise Gamgee.
