"Cursey" not cutesy. Hah! |

As a girl from the Midwest, I was initially shocked at the language typical of lawyers and Biglaw. The big city has different standards of language. |
| Is there someone from 8th grade posting on here about what terms are "cool" to say? Get back to class mister! And you two arguing about swear words: get back to class immediately or I'm calling your parents! |
Things have devolved pretty badly when a supposed 8th grader needs to tell supposed grown-ups how to behave. |
He doesn't need to. He just wants to. |
| I think it's a wonderful tribute that in a thread about a whack job we are writing like a bunch of whack jobs. A regular Cotton Club! |
| oh god don't give them a moniker |

This “whack job,” as you call him, has accomplished quite a bit in his 37 years.
More accomplished, no doubt, than 99% of the posters on DCUM. Guess that makes the rest of you bigger “whack jobs.” |
You can add "becoming national laughingstock" to his list of accomplishments. |
Tom? How you doing, man? |
Actually, Google reveals that after graduating from law school, Tehran Tom clerked for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a one year commitment, before joining Gibson Dunn. Then, within a period of about two-years, he leaves Biglaw as a first year associate with virtually no meaningful litigation experience to join a pedigreed DC litigation boutique firm with deep conservative ties, only to join the Army, but not through the JAG program, in which event he would have been commissioned as a Captain. Not too many Lieutenants with a Harvard law degree and a stint as a law clerk. I find all of this quite strange. |
| He probably didn't want to be a JAG officer. |
| He earned a Ranger tab while in the Army. Ranger has a 50% washout rate. It's grueling training. |
NP. I detect a hint of sour grapes as well. |
