      It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.

      Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.

      You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)

        Yeah McKinsey is shit.

        But wtf is this shit. Are you ok, dude? You think he workshopped his last name? And what he decided on was “Buttigieg”? What?

        Yeah but like, what’s the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.

        “Boot edge edge” is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.

        Like preschool level shit.
