Flower Language

The Company has created a brand new suite of conference rooms, meeting rooms, interview rooms on the ground floor. Usually we have a theme for each suite. On another floor, we have an Island Resort Theme where each meeting room is named after islands like: Cebu, Bali, Sentosa, Phuket, etc. At another building, the conference rooms are named after: Changi, Bukit Timah, Jurong, Sembawang, etc.

So, for our newest suite, it's FLOWER theme: Rose, Waterlily, Sunflower, Orchid, Delphinium, Lily Yelloween, Gerbera.... and we have a 'controversial' room named Morning Glory. Apparently, it's a British slang for "A erection of the penis on awaking from a night's sleep"!! Being a British company, that sounds really crude! Imagine the secretary to the British Boss: "Boss, you have an 8am meeting tomorrow with Mr Smith in the Morning Glory room"... :Pp
After feedback from the British folkz based here, they've discreetly renamed that room to
Geranium. :)
