Another [Not Really] Non-Word Overheard

Background:

It's a running joke at work about our coworker Grandmother always burning her microwave popcorn.  In fact a couple of years ago, she burnt the bag so bad that it set off the fire alarms and the local fire department showed up.  Hand to heaven, the fire department showed up.

Today, someone else burned their microwave popcorn, and Grandmother emailed All Employees to tell us all that she was not the guilty party. 

We all had a good laugh about this, and we were reminiscing about when the firemen showed up a couple of years ago, one even carrying a big ax.  Someone was fast-thinking and was able to get some pictures of Grandmother with the ax-wielding fireman.  HH, another coworker, spoke up today and said (and I quote) "She probably looked up and thought 'This must be an Instagram."


In case you haven't figured it all out by now, HH meant to say "Stripper-gram".  

Faithful readers, I don't make this stuff up.
