This, so much.
The people I work with are largely too ignorant to come up with or to successfully employ any corporate lingo.
Conversation seems to centre around a small selection of topics:
How much everyone drank last weekend.
How much everyone’s going to drink this weekend.
Who is playing football this weekend.Luckily (really?) it’s a male dominated workplace so love island chat is kept to a minimum.
You guys are really lucky to have annoying intelligent people at your workplace.
I just have annoying unintelligent people at my workplace...
I explained to a room of 8 people that a 'pickle' is not actually a vegetable, it is, in fact, the process. I then dug a little deeper and all fucking 8 of them believed that a pickle was a vegetable and that when you had something like pickled eggs, for example, someone would blend 'pickles' and mix them with eggs.
I really have to bite my tongue and let them live in their own world I guess, but a 3-hour long conversation about Love Island just pisses me off more than I can bare.
