What are these fancy bullshit words?

Yonic seems to be from Sanskrit word 'Yoni' meaning vagina, I think. It looks like a satirical post.

It was a common word for pussy back in hippie times.

A major part of being an MBA is coming up with words for stuff everyone already knows.

My work has "gemba walks" which is where managers leave their office and ask employees if there are any issues that need to be addressed. They also practice "5S" which is where they make sure the tools workers need to do their job are located near where the job is done. Might as well practice "kawaya" or the idea that employees are provided areas to relieve themselves instead of pissing in bottles.

Phallic is a word to describe something that is 'penis-like'. Yonic describes things that are 'vagina-like'. These terms have legitimate use.

At face value, I don't think this linkedin page is deserving of ridicule. But I'm not sure what the context around it is.

Yeah, I actually like this analogy. I would certainly never post it to LinkedIn, but the concept of building solutions to issues instead of searching for opportunities after building a tool is sound.

Too bad they come from two completely different etimologies. Vulvic would be the Greek-derived equivalent.

But so what? There's loads of words derived from German and from French in the English language, but they are understood and perfectly fine words to use, even in the same sentence. Or consider "television", where "tele" has Greek and "vision" had Latin origins.

First, we are talking about two paired terms in the same domain being used as opposites, and that is different from the examples you make.

Second, the specific domain here is physiology/anatomy and in this case what you describe is practically never true.

Send help. Phallic Innovation stuck in a ceiling fan.

I used to play bass for Yonic Innovation

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

The kind of band where the bass player doesn't touch the lowest two strings and doesn't play fewer than 16 notes a bar

The last one should be something like, "I can fit any technology with enough practice and patience."

remember not to use hollow glass technology in your ecosystem

Replace "fit in" with "ruin"
