Stalker’s vote for euphemism of the year has to go to Space X.
Their description of their rocket ship exploding as a 'rapid unscheduled disassembly' is a clear winner.
Their penchant for claiming uber success when their rockets blow up is nearly Orwellian in nature.
Two recent books on the subject Right Kind of Wrong: Why learning to fail can teach us to thrive by Amy Edmondon and The Geek Way: The Radical Mindset that drives Extraordinary Results by Andrew McAfee.
The first tome looks at the failure craze - “the ‘fail fast fail often’ culture that wants us to embrace failure seemingly indiscriminately.”
Neither book would necessarily be what Stalker might consider light Christmas reading - maybe something for the New Year.
