Crap 'Buzzwords'

'Double bluff' - that's brilliant.

'can be generated for onwards distribution' = 'can be sent'

We will synthesize the ‘gap and solution’ information

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.

Ms Landslide mentioned they'd been discussing "adjacent fruit" at work, a phrase I thought ripe (Ha!) for inclusion here; turned out they were genuinely talking about the office fruit bowl...

If you don't start a sentence here with 'In terms of....', you're nothing.

Status reports must begin with: "On my side..."

One of my clients wants to 'bring me inside the tent'. I don't particularly want to go camping with them.

If you don't start your sentences with "is there something around..." you are nothing.

"is there something around x that we should be taking into account in this piece of work...?"

is there something around

The perfect spineless attempt at an opinion when you lack the knowledge, conviction or gumption to say "I THINK x is missing from this"

"bone broth"

so "stock" then?

Unpack.
(Possible repost)

Unpack.

Don't forget to flush.

In my chosen terminology, that's "downloading".

Must have been mentioned here enough times. But it's not a fucking 'Brexit'! It's a 'British exit'.

Bremain

That definitely troubles me.

Brexeunt.

I wanted to put a picture of Brian and the centurion here but couldn't find a decent one.

The Americanism 'de-plane' seems to be creeping into the British lexicon. The train guard on my disrupted journey this morning informed us we had to "de-train the train".

I've been enbussing and debussing from police vans for 34 years but detraining seems a bit shit I'll grant you.

Stop saying things are "powerful"...
An empty sentiment used by idiots to give gravitas to a sentence that is intended to make them sound credible but is devoid of any substance or meaning.
