Geoffrey the Giraffe, the original model for the Toys R Us mascot, tragically gave his life rescuing civilians during the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.

Head is fine, lead is fine, manager or CEO are fine (where applicable), whatever else is probably fine. But, to me, this always seems akin to saying, like…“Naughty Dog Head Honcho Neil Druckmann,” or “Naughty Dog Big Kahuna Neil Druckmann,” or, like “Neil Druckmann, the Big Man in Charge of the Naughty Dog” or something. It irks me. I find it irksome.
