I generally love my two direct supervisors but because english is not their first language sometimes there is a small communication problem. One time my boss looked over my shoulder to the catalog I had on my desk during my lunch break. Noticing the pants I had circled she said to me "Oh la, you can't get those pants. You'll burst right out of them!" Another time she asked me to define the word girth for her. Once I had furnished the answer she said "I understand. So you would be the girl of excessive girth, right?" (I'm a size 6) I could go on but I'm saving some of the best for a book I'm writing!

OMG are you kidding?? What nerve!! You should have asked your boss to define the word "gall" and then told him he was a man of "excessive gall". =)

These remarks are impolite in any language. I don't care for the nitpickers either but this is uncalled for.
