Jargon

“Let's double-click on that”

I want to interrogate a detail you mentioned, but I would like it to sound like collaboration software instead of criticism.

How it gets used

Used to reopen a point that had been closed. The zooming metaphor softens what is usually a challenge.

Brutally Honest Translation

I'm going to take your throwaway remark and turn it into your next two weeks.

Supreme Court Polite

It may be worth examining that particular point in more detail before proceeding.

Passive-Aggressive Retaliation

Happy to double-click, I'll set a time and bring the numbers so we can close it properly rather than circling.

Paste the whole message instead

Phrases rarely arrive alone. Run the full email through the decrypter to see all three translations together and get an evasion score for the message as a whole.
