Crap 'Buzzwords'

'getting a dialogue' in place of having a catch-up with a superior

We have meetings with our line managers here, called 1-2-1 meetings. Not too bad I think, however a friend at another company syncs with his line manager. Sync!

Is page 50 worth reading? I suspect not.

Can someone please tell me who is pictured in the above gif?

I want to know so that I can contact her to offer my services as a husband.

Emma Watson?

Yeah, she presents Big Brother now

Oh is it? That's a shame. She probably wouldn't consider me a compelling prospect. She'd probably prefer someone with charm, good looks, wealth, intelligence, talent, compassion, humility, a well maintained physique and or a good sense of humour.

She likes gingers though, according to Harry Potter, so there's always that.

You suspect correctly

She's about half your age, Josh!

Do you know who gets to decide what words mean?

People who use them.

Yup.

"Does this wash it's face"

I have literally no idea what this could mean....

Its.

Thanks Mum...

It means "pay for itself" but also used in a "does it make sense" context.

Not sure of the origin though!

I was just subject to some ideation. I know it's a valid word according to The Oxford Dictionary but hearing still causes convulsions.

"Ideate on that" is quite common here.

Ugh.

(At least it hasn't become "Ideate in and around that." Andy Townsend would be proud.)

Ideate your ham and cheese sandwich what was in the fridge yesterday. soz lol.

Are you across that?

Is that a BBC thing? Heard it from my BBC mates and on that BBC mockumentary.

"Life Chances" instead of "Child Poverty"

For example "Under the new Wefare Bill, the Child Poverty Act would be renamed to be the "Life Chances Act."

I've just been asked to change "less money" in a blog post to "fewer resources".

I wrote "less money" because I meant less money.

Meet them halfway with 'fewer money'.
