You mean "Office Space," and "flair." 😉
Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.
Joanna: Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it.
[flips off Stan]
i think that like 1 peice of flair is cool to have... but i agree - anyone who wears multiple peices of flair on a regular basis (who isn't in the army) needs to be put in their place. i make the army exception for 2 reasons: 1) if your flair is medals of honor or whatever that can still be cool and 2) if you try to regulate on someone in the military, they may just regulate back. werd.
i am not a big fan of flare either. i understand it though, especially from the painfully obvious future pediatricians who wear stuffed animals and **** velcroed to their stethoscope.
i think its easy for us all to passively say "hey, different strokes for different folks", but in all honesty, IMHO, i believe that professionalism is expected and demanded vastly more often than humor or showing your personal qualities. i think this is often an attempt to relate to the patient, or to evoke some sense of comfort and good will in the therapeutic environment. but i think if one is truely trying to keep the patient's experience in their mind when making decisions about what is appropriate behavior, you will realize that conservative dress and appearance, and professional discourse is far more comforting than teddy bear scrubs. in fact, if you read the data, patients feel more comfortable with physicians who maintain a conservative appearance and strictly professional dialogue. this is evidence based medicine, and it is common sense. vain physicians who think everyone is scared in a hospital, try to improv a solution with casualness and "flare" . . . but this does not comfort people (with the exception of peds). personally speaking, it would scare me even more. i mean seriously, if i were scared, i'd want to know my surgery was to be performed by an infallible super-robot - not some saturday morning cartoon character.

Flair isn't unprofessional, but it is gay.

Grow up.
Your definition of being "grown up" is neither relevant nor anything that I actually care about and my opinion that flair is gay is just that so step off.
Peter: You know...the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear...
Joanna: ...what?
