An excerpt from an email I received today at work:

Thanks. Please update me once you hear. Our situation is now untenably scandalous. We need textbooks.

Untenably scandalous?!?! I love it! I mean, I don’t love it because resolving this issue will be a pain in the ass but I’ve never seen someone put those two words together as a phrase and I would never have imagined that someone at my workplace would use it. I am so impressed.

Untenably scandalous… yeah.

Intriguing, makes me wonder what level of scandal is tenable, and what does the lack of textbooks have to do with it. One of my best friends works for a textbook publishing company that mostly publishs ESL readers, and their idea of scandalous is whether or not there is enough diversity in the illustrations.
