My friend revealed to me last night that all this time when she heard me talking about Rilo Kiley she thought I was talking about Reylo

This reminds me of the greeting in a server I'm in, where like this there are people from all over the world so 'good morning/evening' doesn't apply... So we started saying 'good timezone' to cover all our bases. And now we just shout 'timezone!' at each other

A little something for Linguistics Tumblr.

So the Crunchyroll newsroom isn't a "room" so much as a Slack channel. We have news writers all over the US, in Australia, and in Japan. This means we have something akin to 'round-the-clock coverage, but it also means that our schedules respective to each other are skewed. For example, when the East Coast contingent is starting their day, the Japan contingent is shutting down for the evening.

Because of that, we started experimenting with greetings that could apply when Party A was coming in for the morning and Party B was leaving for the night. One person came up with "konbarning": a combination of "good morning" and "konban wa" ("good evening" in Japanese). It stuck.

Over the following months, "konbarning" got shortened to "barning" and other permutations. Now, a year or some later, this is how we announce our arrival:
