Further clarification

Someone at my place of employment recently used the word "synergies". I am appalled and saddened by this and, were it the case that I felt any degree of responsibility for this, I would apologise.
The definition of 'synergy' is thus:
The idea, propagated by those with no familiarity with the science of addition or training in the use of a calculator, that two plus two equals five.

synergy-Mel Gibson's ego, car and a bottle of Cuervo Gold.

I've worked with the California Highway Patrol. Gibson's lucky he's still alive.

Dyna girl-gorgous? What were you doing last night?
