This is an astonishing statement. If the behavior you find offensive can't
be named one has no choice but to ignore your claim. One certainly won't be
able to amend one's behavior, presuming that one isn't aware of it or its
implications.
I'm assuming, of course, that you're not engaging in some extraordinarily
gauche humor.
