Today I was told I can't use the word retrofit in a sentence because I have to 'use words a nice year old would understand'

There's being an effective communicator and then there's becoming a soulless, creativity killing nazi

    @jestdotty my 5 year old used the word levitate instead of fly when describing the actions of her toys. This manager is less sophisticated than a 5 year old.

    I feel your pain 😞

    Was this in speech or text?

    I would say that if it is in text form - it shouldn't be a problem if people use unique words like "retrofit" anyone can easily look them up while reading the text.

    Hmmm, is this a sign you need to retrofit your resume?

    Retro and fit both are great words. Surely combined they will be even grater.

    I had to change all the instances of the word test to validate because "Were not really testing, were validating"

    Still having troubles working with pyvalidate and unitvalidate

    In title: ... retrofit[1] ...

    In body:

    [1]: [retrofit](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/...)

    "your mom can tell you what that means"

    I am going to start saying this every time there is sexual innuendo.

    Retrofit is pretty common these days

    They must be either so outdated or so jealous of you
