Legal eagle

A well-meant but nonetheless derogatory form of address used by a salesperson when addressing the legal department in the mistaken belief it will ward off, and not compound, the acute resentment the department has for him.

For example:

“Hi Legal Eagles!!

Can you turn around this tsht for me by Cob?

Thx”

Hateful, isn’t it.
