In my first engineering job, we had one lead that always seemed to repeat things the engineers said. As a team, we started to make up some words and use them only when he was around just to see if he'd start using them. We succeeded.
Do you enjoy working for a manager whose opinions change every time they read something? Do they sound like an effective manager? Have you ever had a boss that needed to think the ideas were theirs before they'd sign off, even normal, everyday process stuff? It heavily implies they don't know anything at all about what they're doing or talking about.
