McSaint

The latest McDonald’s-related neologism – describing a perennially perky McEmployee.

The McDonald’s worker, Jackie Brown, is so irrepressibly cheery as to have been canonized by colleagues and customers, as MyFoxNY.com reported:

Brown has been known to even visit her elderly customers at home, just to check on them. She never lets stress get to her. Indeed her coworkers and customers call her “McSaint.”

(Mike Nizza revelled in the posibilities of the “McLexicon” in a May 2007 column for The Lede. Reporting on McDonald’s executives’ ire at the Oxford English Dictionary’s unflattering definition of McJob, Nizza petitioned readers keen to indulge in some McWordplay to “step up to the plate, point to the bleachers like Babe Ruth, and hit this McMeatball out of the park.”)
