My company uses Expensify, and apparently they added a new delegated access feature (that I haven't seen or used yet) that sounds pretty UMA-ish. Wonder how much it cost them to implement it from scratch. Anyway, the CEO sends out these chatty newsletters, and the latest one included this blurb:

 

"2) "Wingman" renamed to "Copilot"

Remember how we had the genius idea of naming our amazing delegated access feature (where one user can sign in to another's account to help them out) "Wingman"? As a child of the 80's I just assumed that name conjured up images of Top Gun fighter jets and double high-fives in everyone. But it turns out that to the children of the 90's and beyond, it means cruising bars and picking up chicks -- who knew? Actually, almost everyone it seems. So, bowing to the wisdom of the crowd, "Wingman" is now the less-offensively named "Copilot". My bad!"

 

Still laughing...
