Yup. Almost a decade ago when Avatar was all the rage, the CO at our circuit ass. mentioned the movie and then said,
'Did you know that the word Avatar comes from Hindu gods? Look it up!'
Now keep in mind I was fully PIMI at the time, but I didn't let this one slide. I thought
"Of COURSE I know that. But it has nothing at all to do with the movie! The word Avatar is even used to describe thumbnails for online users. It's used illustratively. This guy doesn't have a clue what he's talking about."
