WORD OF THE DAY: Exsufflation


Hotelier Middle East Staff, March 16th, 2010

Exsufflation: (n) blowing out; forced breathing.

In a sentence:

GM: What’s with all the exsufflation?

Porter: The lifts are out of order and I have just taken 14 suitcases up to the presidential suite on the 43rd floor.

GM: Wow, have we got a family staying?

Porter: No, just one man.

GM: Why does he have so much luggage?

Porter: I think his wife made him move out of the house.

GM: Why?

Porter: I think it might be to do with boundary issues. He was winking at the receptionist, he blew a kiss at the valet and I am sure he pinched my rear when I was climbing the stairs.

GM: Oh well, he’s booked the suite out for a month according to the system, so if he pinches you again just smile.
