You're the one feeding managers bad information.

With something like a baby, people know what's going on and what's meant. That's why it's the example. But when it comes to esoteric things, playing word games just confuses the issue and will lead to a manager thinking that indeed 9 woman can give you a baby in 1 month (I'm not jumping through your word games, you know what's meant).

Making assumptions about what's meant, and expecting people to make assumptions about what you mean, is how problems happen. Thorough communication is the cornerstone of understanding.

Playing games with "it could be interpreted this way if I tried really really hard" and frankly being intentionally obtuse is how problems happen. Don't intentionally contribute to miscommunication. You can play games online, in real life this doesn't help anyone.

Unless they're politicians, of course. But then they rarely know what's going on.
