Why even choose a mental health condition as the linguistic pivot point for a zingy social phrase?

I think you’re trying to ask the person you are replying to not to use medical terminology to make a point in a catchy way but I honestly have no idea what the Michael Scott segue was supposed to mean.

  • I realised that reference would not be well understood, so edited it out.

    FYI it was a reference to fictional character Michael Scott from television production The Office (US). The characters main trait was unintended verbal faux pas, where he meant well but actually caused awkwardness and offense.

    Often by stereotyping the traits of specific minorities.
