Sometimes I'll feel that way about art, but nothing causes it so profoundly as certain music. It's almost paralyzing. Seriously. It is that very feeling that has put me in so much debt charging spontaneous trips to LA or Austin or Athens over the years to see certain bands. Now that we know there's a term, who can I sue? And then I'll be able to afford those Special Docs, which definitely cause me to suffer an outbreak of Stendahl’s Syndrome!!! I am so thrilled to discover there’s a term for that feeling!

You need to be incentivized to make up some horrible buzz word and see if you can get the co-workers to adopt it. Try it!

And then if we break programs into groups, they are "carved out." So (are you with me here) programs that are left in their natural groupings are "carved IN." Shoot me now.
