Any probation that isn't a sixer has to be admin approved. It's like waiting on a call from the governor, but in reverse.

Ever wonder why some people get probated twice for the same post? That's for when we've queued a longer probation but would really appreciate it if they shut up right now.

I've never really cared enough to do any research to verify that. I just liked it a lot when I heard it, and the existence of stuff like Cockney rhyming slang makes it seem plausible to me.

I sincerely hope it's the origin of the phrase because people unintentionally engaging in pun based humor is funny.

I'm three episodes into Symphogear. It's entertaining but it's definitely got issues with tone, and it feels kind of cheap at times. I hope the later seasons are as crazy as Endorph says.

Symphogear is basically an anime that begs to be made into a game by Platinum.

Square as a slang insult apparently came from when Jazz was exploding in the US, square meant old-fashioned and strict, I guess. "said to be from shape of a conductor's hand gestures in a regular four-beat rhythm"
