unnecessary responses to an order, also called backflash. This canget fairly wicked. They are not acknowledgments, they are comments or refutals. Example: "Sell the bricks" as an order, is replied to by "Bricks are hard to sell" or "We should have sold them yesterday." This is a disease peculiar to only a few staff members. They cannot receive an order directly and are seeking to be part of the communication, not the recipient.—Staff Status II Glossary, Approved late Sept. 1990
