Yes it's the attitude of the sweaty middle aged man who cleans out gutters for a living, driving a truck with no AC and a ladder and a rake in the bed, which broke down in front of a house with a pool party going on and when he asks to come in to use the phone because his is dead, he wants to impress all the teen girls sitting around the pool so he pretends he's at home at parties like these by saying "sipping on" instead of gulping.
Lol. Unclench. I am as left as they come and am a hot 40-something woman with multiple degrees who is planning to leave work early to go home and sip on a margarita or two poolside today.
If you were as hot as you say, you would be sipping it instead of sipping on it.
You clearly do not understand the distinction. I will indeed be sipping on them.

Sure they do. "You should try this. It's really good. Here, have a sip. I said a sip!! Hey!!!"

I hate that too. Annoying education/corporate jargon.
Let's share out and then we'll loop in Sarah to make sure we're all on the same page.
