Disparage

You've got to hand it old Carl. He managed to spread all of those rumours about John around the office without being the obvious source. All that stuff about John being a pedophile? Rubbish, but I heard Carl talk about it last year after John got the better review, then Carl didn't mention it at all. Two months ago it all came back into the open. All he did was leave a memo on the copier and let Annie find it. I know John worked day and night to finish the Henderson project and Carl wasn't even on the committee, but somehow Carl got the credit in the boss's e-mail. I'm telling you, the man is scum, but teflon scum.
