I’m not kidding, this is what a woman caller said to one of the agents today. The call was evidently not going well, and the woman was balking on some point of the corporate travel policy.

Then she interrupted the increasingly frustrated agent with this cryptic comment:

“I’m not trying to be a jag-off.”

So now we’re trying to figure out if she really said “jack-off”, which would be a a really weird and shocking thing for a woman executive to say in a business environment. The agent got a good laugh out of mimicking someone that sounded a lot like Selma Diamond for the rest of us.

Or maybe in the part of the country where she comes from, “JAG-off” means either “pain in the ass” or “argumentative sea-lawyer.”
