peer agreement (net): +3don't think there's a problem Explanation: Personally, I've not come across it used on its own with that connotation — which is in any case, I think, somewhat dated nowadays, isn't it? When I hear it, I immediately think of Air Force slang, with things like "Watch out chaps, bandits at 3 o'c!" However, 'bandit' is a word with such frequent negative connotations, I find it hard to imagine in what sort of marketing context it could be appropriate language anyway — leaving aside all other connotations. Perhaps it would be a good idea to show us how you were proposing to use it, so we can see if there is anything else in the collocation that might render it unsuitable? |
