Local dad and notorious shit disturber Walter Morris patiently waited for a lull during his family’s lovely Christmas dinner to launch into a tirade about the woke mind virus.
Sorry, I’m a little confused… Can you elaborate on what you mean by ‘phoning it in’? I’ve never heard that before (but I’m guessing it’s like ‘phoning a friend’ when you’re stuck in a quiz or similar?)
I’ve heard it for many decades in the acting world, usually when an actor isn’t trying hard in a performance and merely reciting the lines to get to the end of the show.
The idea being you’re not actually there doing the work (metaphorically), you’re in bed at home phoning it in instead.

Completing the task with little effort in a disengaged fashion. In this case the task would be writing a satire article.
Thanks - so like most of my team WFH then… Fuckers!
