I've begun taking people to task whenever they say anything that could be ambiguous around me. Going after the nub of that what they're talking about like, one might say, a dog with a bone.

I now won't allow anyone to talk about kittens without making them specify whether they mean a baby cat, a baby rabbit or a stout furry grey and white moth, the caterpillar of which resembles that of the puss moth.

And, here's the best bit, not only am I single-handedly stamping out vagueness in all its forms but I'm also becoming more popular. In fact everyone in the office is talking about me.
