Telling Phrase: "Langism"

Working for ETSU's family medicine department, I have the pleasure of working for Dr. Lang. Dr. Lang is a sweet man known for his love of bow ties and peculiar, but charming, phrasing. At one meeting, which was attended by a handful of other family medicine docs, Dr. Lang began speaking in his idiosyncratic mode.

At that point, a clinical psychologist began to laugh and said, "uhoh, there's one of those Langisms." This doctor's statment signified that these doctors are peers and as such have the ability to poke fun at one another, also that Lang is the sort of team leader who believes there's a place for humor at meetings.
