Sorry to confuse you H. The asterisks are to disguise someone's name. However the buzzword is clearly in the statement.

I would say he is categorically in that category.

I can see what you're driving at. He's out of control.

If we categorise his driving perhaps we could control it.

KKOB's Marketing Dept sounds rather like another famous one:

The Hitchhiker's Travel Guide describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as:
"A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes."
Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which conveniently fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as:
"A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."
