goose Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 skills set Not a phrase but a single word: amazing "The new cinnamon pumpkin mocha frappucino latte espresso at Starbucks is amazing""The chicken and waffles plate is amazing""The party last Saturday was amazing""That Tuesday night Zumba instructor is amazing".......... It can't all be amazing!!! In fact, I bet half of it sucks!!! :P I thought it was all awesome! Fortunately, I don't hear that word too often anymore.Unfortunately, it's all about "amazing" these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonah Jameson would describe that same thing as a "Menace"...especially if it climbs walls and spins webs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Not a phrase, but people beginning their reply to a question with "So..." Drives me batshit as it's becoming commonplace. Putting 'so' at the very end of a sentence is what drives me batty. Usually it's used at the end of some kind explanation, or rationale, or excuse. Example: "Well, I just walked in the door, so..." So...what?? 'So' is a conjunction- it cannot end a sentence! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Corporate jargon is quite annoying: "Be here when you are here" "Let´s focus on those low hanging fruits for now" etc etc 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along those lines, Obama has a similar bad habit of ending sentences with 'aaannd....', then he'd start another sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Corporate jargon is quite annoying: "Be here when you are here" "Let´s focus on those low hanging fruits for now" etc etcI enjoy mocking those 'inspirational' posters that every company is almost required to have. Our HR department puts out a different 'inspirational' email every Monday morning. Others here take pleasure in mocking it. I can't delete it fast enough....I only wish Outlook would have a 'f**k you' button for emails like that. Those are definitely a 'win win' (yes another overused trite corporate phrase).

HemiBeers Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) now that my mind is on 'inspirational' sayings from HR. Here's some more realistic statements they could make on Monday morning. "Apparently no one won the lotto this weekend. Now get your ass to work.""Everyone is, at best, one or two secrets away from getting fired.""Official job performance appraisal: if you don't screw up today, you can probably come back tomorrow.""your salary is based on a market analysis that showed the only other alternative is to have someone work your job for free.""we're your best friend before you get hired. Then once you're hired, we put you in the DGAF file." Edited June 19, 2017 by HemiBeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Where I work too many people say "piece."As in, you did fairly well but you really need to make sure you include the customer service piece next time. manager-speak. They're thinking of pieces of the pie graph. They're also the ones who want to talk "around" the issue, "touch base," and "put a pin in that until the next meeting." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're thinking of pieces of the pie graph. They're also the ones who want to talk "around" the issue, "touch base," and "put a pin in that until the next meeting." I dislike that "touch base" one. You can tell someone who doesn't know you very well when they say "I just wanted to touch base with you...". I feel like cutting them off and replying, "Just tell me what you need to fool." :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Where I work too many people say "piece."As in, you did fairly well but you really need to make sure you include the customer service piece next time. manager-speak. They're thinking of pieces of the pie graph. They're also the ones who want to talk "around" the issue, "touch base," and "put a pin in that until the next meeting."Based on the way it spread very quickly I assume that one person very high up got it from there and the rest are just playing monkey see-monkey do and have no idea where it's from. It literally went from non-existent to everywhere overnight a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not a phrase, but people beginning their reply to a question with "So..." Drives me batshit as it's becoming commonplace. This is SO funny! I entered this thread for the sole purpose of stating the above. i wasn't sure if anyone else noticed. It drives me crazy - everyone is starting sentences with "so" now it seems. You watch commentators debating on TV and it is very common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
