Apparently it is no longer acceptable to have a brainstorming session, instead you should have a thought shower. That's according to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council which has suggested staff stop using the term in case it offends epileptics. Its the first time I have come across the term thought shower, it seems to be one those very pointless office terms that exists just to irritate. It certainly irritates my husband so I will use it frequently.

An interesting article on Quasi Fictional about the word "geek". The article looks at the origins of the word and asks why we use the term "geek girl" but not "geek boy". On reading the article I have concluded that sadly I must be a geek.
