According to the memo, people should try "lunch-and-learn" or "sack lunch."

But "lunch and learn" implies that they should be seeking learning from you. That is ethnocentric. You should never imply that you know more then anyone else especially if they come from a different culture.

And "sack lunch"? Even worse. To give someone the sack used to mean to fire them. You are being offensive to the differently employed.

"lunch-and-learn"

That phrase requires a vomit bag, brown or otherwise.

“Sack” also can refer to a part of the male anatomy, so “sack lunch” might be taken as a description of some specific homoerotic practice (ala “teabag”), in which case I’m sure these Seattle dolts would be just fine with it.

"Lunch and learn"?

That sounds like something a kindergarten teacher would say.

Kiddies, it's "lunch and learn time". Then you get a nappy-poo.

And I don't know ANYONE who brown bags it call it a "sack lunch".

"Brown bagging" just means you made something or brought something from home.

Sometimes I just HATE this city.

Just when I think liberals can't possibly get more ridiculous, they ALWAYS surprise me.
