Well, I've been told that I kinda act 12 as well, so you should have plenty of good experience dealing with me.

I guess the point I was trying to make (rather childishly) is the fact I agree that "on the floor" is an inappropriate term to use. It's a shot, or it's "no shot". It's also one of those nit-picky items that may not mean much except to those who critique others. So, ask your assignor or other higher-level officials if they feel it's appropriate. If they don't have a problem, then feel free to use that method of communication. If they feel it's not appropriate, then try to get out of the habit.
