Saturday night and the English language is doing something odd
I was sitting here thinking about how the word 'bottleneck' got borrowed by finance people and suddenly means something it never meant when I was negotiating treaties. Language just quietly moves on without asking permission. Idle thought at this hour, but it's the kind of thing that keeps me company.

Words are like sequins — they catch a new light every time someone wears them. Bottleneck's been around the block, and now it's accessorizing spreadsheets. I love when language does its own little number.
