Opportunity to get a dynamic grip on things at work - sounds like a euphemism for wanking

Everyone at my work is now talking 'around' a certain topic, rather than 'about' it.

That's progress.
We are still talking "to" things at my place.

That literally means not talking about the subject in my lexicon

"In the hopper" seems to be getting a bit of use at the moment.

What? Like coffee beans?

I fucking hate this one. Comes from a combine harvester, I learned - AKA 'grain tank'. Ridiculous. Just talk properly.

Currently hating 'buckets' for anything other than actual buckets.

Also 'funnels'

seems like you guys have silo’d your hatred into agricultural terms for ‘containers’? I would never make that mistake.

I feel like that while it's an odd use of language, it's probably acceptable in a sports team.

The minute it makes it down the hopper to my corporate IT department though...

"learnings" - it is f*$K1ng everywhere is my organisation.

"sharing our learnings" - wtf!

I hate it - Rant over!

Also, ‘learnings’?
You mean there’s more than one? Can’t wait to ‘distill’ them. It. Whichever.

I've always assumed "sharing our learnings" is Newspeak for "give excuses for our cock-ups"

Sounds like a conduct agenda :)

Everyone now wanting to "revert back".

and "progress forward/onwards" ?

More the use of "revert" to mean "reply" or "get back to you".

(It's more common in Indian English but seems to be creeping in over here more and more as people think they sound cleverer by using it.)

I get this a lot at work, mostly when dealing with Americans.

‘Kick the tyres’ when testing stuff. What does that even mean?

I believe it's from the olden days of buying an automobile - people kicked the tyres to see if a wheel was wobbly or had a shot bearing or whatever (I mean, the wheels were basically re-purposed horse cart wheels at the very beginning).

I thought it was from people who didn't know anything about cars, so would kick the tyres to see if they were pumped up. Thus making it look like they knew what they were looking for.

But your explanation does make more sense.
