Crap 'Buzzwords'

on point.

I use this quite a bit, albeit not so much in a work context.

What's a better alternative?

"all the time phife"

“truncated”

In a Teams session: "Please feel free to drop questions in here"

Wait, what, do you want me to type the question out somewhere else and drag and drop it there? Or are you asking me to drop it like a bombshell, like something embarrassing? I can embarrass you in front of 100+ people, I don't mind.

Example bombshell question: "Why do dogs have black lips?"

Wait, what

"playing politics"

usually dribbled out of the mouth of a tory fuckface who thinks levelling this accusation at another politician who is attempting to hold them and their shithouse party to account for the rank mendacity / incompetence of their own political decisions, is some sort of sneaky tactic to be condemned.

idiotic.

I'm seeing a lot of people referring to an "email" as a "note" which is getting on my tits.

i see "webinar" is back.

I’m so mad at myself for missing this joke.

Deep dive appears to be missing.

the irony of that person freely using the word 'douche' tho...

That does spoil it, you are right. I like just reading down the left-most column and punching things.

id not be able to resist using the words to wind him up, unfortunately. he's streisanded himself

In fact, originally only missionaries had missions. That's mission creep for you.

“Compelling event” rather than compulsion or motivation.

But there was no single event there were multiple incidents that drove them to that decision.

“Gotcha the compelling event was multiple events”

Also, this person is wrong on 'strategic', although I got the 'totally redundant' joke.

Any car ad writer who describes the superlative reliability of the vehicle thus:“Starts on the button”.
No shit? Well, point 1: all of the cars I look at have keys, not buttons and point 2: I can think of a million, zillion ways a car can be anything from irritating to a total basket case before I have to resort to climbing under the bonnet, licking my fingers and sticking one hand on the battery and another on the starter motor just to get it to fire up.
Point 3: ‘starts every time’ is less letters.

Fewer.

Experienced a senior consultant at an LA who always said “I think you’re missing the point, we need to be strategic” as a way of shutting down debate (and with the not subtle agenda of feathering his nest). Was never genuinely held to account or asked to explain the strategy he was proposing, but any challenge was blustered out of existence (actually, think there was plenty of gaslighting going on).

He walked away after two awful Ofsted inspections but left me with lasting distrust of anyone who bandies around the term “strategic” without something tangible behind it

streisanded

Rhyming slang for something?

I stand, corrected.
I shall retire to beat myself over the head with an Oxford English Dictionary.
