Ya’ll need to watch this episode of the office TLDR your silly
abbreviations actually don’t save time overall
Key Highlights of the Scene:
- *The Logic:* Kevin believes that by removing unnecessary words (like
"the" or "and"), he can be more efficient, comparing his new speech style
to "wearing underpants" instead of a full outfit.
- *The Confusion:* His coworkers are immediately confused, particularly
when he says he wants to "see world." Jim has to ask if he means "see the
world" or "SeaWorld," to which Kevin cryptically replies, "Oceans. Fish.
Jump. China."
- *The Resolution:* After Jim and Pam explain that his method actually
takes *more* time because of the constant need for clarification, Kevin
eventually agrees to talk normally again.
