            <text>Among us employees at the Washington Post, one of our favorite words was “beg-off”.&#13;
For example, if you were working and something came up, or you just felt frustrated and wanted to leave, you would tell your boss, “I beg-off.” Which meant, I’m stopping work right now, and I’m leaving of the building. We had a blessing in the form of that word “beg-off”, we never forgot it.</text>
