"We need to be owning April Fools day this year"
"Someone needs to lay out this presentation, can you own that?"
"That curry stand is totally owning market food lunch at the moment"
'Going forward' as a completely pointless pre-fix/suffix to a sentence.
"What's the roadmap for the marketing strategy piece going forward?"
"So lets talk about your brand positioning going forward"
"We need to be looking at our lunch options going forward"
The word 'piece' to mean thing, or stuff
"There's a whole communication piece around this"
"Oh yeah there was a piece last year about our brand equity..."
"Yes and that comes back to the lunch piece we were talking about yesterday"
Taking things 'offline' to mean 'let's talk about it after the meeting'.
"Let's take this conversation offline"
"We're getting distracted now, let's go offline with this one and discuss it over lunch"
'Bandwidth' to mean 'how busy I am'*
"I don't have the bandwidth at the moment for something like that"
"He told me he didn't have the bandwidth to help me with my powerpoint then the bastard went straight off to lunch!"
And I'm going to echo 'parking' things. As much as it makes a lot of sense, it's still annoying.
'Owning things' to mean doing things.
