Used to work at Sky and, in a meeting, someone asked if I had 'actioned' something.

'Sorry?'
'Have you actioned that?'
'Pardon?'
'Actioned it, have you actioned it?!'
'Oh. You mean have I done it? Yes, I did it. I have done that. It is done.'

Have noticed a worrying trend at my place for the use of the word "eyeball". As in "I want to see their eyeballs" or "you've got to eyeball someone". This is in Birmingham, so am hoping there is not a more sinister, literal, meaning.

As a Black Country man, can't say I can recall that being part of the dialect.

I hope at some point you get the opportunity to eyeball some opticians.
