Yeah is this some North vs. South thing? My yoga instructor uses the cross cross applesauce phras and I had no idea what she was talking about at first! I always knew it as Indian style. Or maybe that’s not PC anymore?

"Indian-style" is seriously not considered PC anymore -- at all.

So, knowing that, most of us who have kids who have learned the term "criss cross applesauce" in preschool just gravitate towards using that too.

"Preschool" should be a clue there.

If OP uses Preschool phrases at work, she has bigger issues than how a coworker sits.

Someone using the phrase “criss cross applesauce” shouldn’t be commenting on other people’s professionalism. Are you 5?

Why would you assume that? If the coworker was an AA male, would you assume he would “scream racism”?
