Sundowning is an interesting term because it is (in it's original form) a nursing home term used for the behavior of those suffering dementia and how they react to the late afternoon sunset, get crazy, depressed, rebellious and other unpreditable behavior.
I find it intriguing that the military has adopted the term, maybe the nursing home got it from the military. WTF knows!
The biz talk word that I hate is the term "strawman" WTF is that? I had a boss that used the term all the time, I hated him as much as I hated the term. I fired him. Yes, you read that right, I fired him! Not too hard to figure out what hapopened.
