Off Topic My bad

My boss and bosses boss have both used it this week, is this the new in phrase? Thought it was a young'uns thing?

 

Advertising companies must laugh out of their arses when people pick up their latest stupid catch phrase.

There are still people who use 'simples' and think it's hilarious.

People are just highly suggestible and gullible I suppose ...

... hasta la vista baby.

 

Still using
“ think outside the box “

 

Buzzword bingo was always my favourite game whenever the corporate big wigs summoned the staff for one of their pow-wows

 

I hate it, makes no sense whatsoever

 

You should try football commentator bingo. Have to drink each time a commentator uses a cliche or a particular comment.

Customise it to any sport and any commentator

 

Ugh

 

Laters

 

You forgot ball park figure they used to make me hold my head in my hands with embarrassment

 

Don't forget staff engagment and market share

 

I worked for a company (Rio Tinto ) that embarked on this massive organisational cultural transformation exercise. Vocabulary was very important to implementers.
There were many howlers but my personal favourite was when the structure of the company was looked at, what were previously known as departments, HAD to be henceforth known as and referred to as
MUTUAL RECOGNITION UNITS.
I kind you not.
A close second was you no longer fired or terminated employment, but ( drum roll ), you 'deselected' them.

 

I often think that people that make the decisions to change dept names of job titles give it much thought.

One company changed the title of the Business Development Manager (BDM) to Business Unit Manager

 

I always used to think they were saying my bat. Makes no sense either way.

 

Have any of you actually done any blue sky thinking ?

 

I’ve cloud watched

 

Joe Cole, "20 years ago tackles would today be 9 match bans and go straight to jail".

I've "Thought showers" about this but as usual I'm struggling to open the envelope

 

Bring it to the party and put it to bed.
Fook off ffs.

 

"Lets throw this idea into the long grass and see what comes out" or also in a meeting a few times "lets unbox this idea". When a building project was at a certain stage it was "shovel ready". We had a senior manager who was like Gus out of Drop the dead donkey. We used to make big words up to see if he would use them again - complete and utter bellend he was.

 

Yeh our name change
T.W.A.T
The work allocation team
Some dick head suggested

 

On trend and on point . What was wrong with “ very popular”?
