Crap 'Buzzwords'

Cascade.

To forward an email whilst adding absolutely no-fucking-thing of any worth. Often topped with the cunting cherry that is FYI. Apparently it's all about "ownership".

"Buzzword" itself is fucking gash.

I hate your job.

i like my job, i just hate the power of 3

'Ta' for thank you sounds retarded.

That's a colloquialism not a buzzword. I don't imagine many of the millions of people who say 'ta' will be worried about being called retarded by people on LFGSS.

DNA; "it's part of our corporate DNA". Or, horror of horrors, "It's in the brand's DNA".

I really hate the usage of 'identify' as in: 'He identified that he had not done this job.'

"Tasked".

"Any time soon". Soon will do, thank you.

"A full inquiry will be launched". As opposed to... a partial one?

"Safe haven". A haven is safe by definition.

"A young schoolboy has been shot". I guess all the adult schoolboys got lucky.

"Hold that. Can we park that in the thought layby"
I heard that little nugget at Bramshill yesterday.

A few years ago, two friends of mine and I rode to Ipswich from Dunwich, as along with a couple of other people we had somehow got washed up on the beach there. There was something to discuss, I can't remember what, so one of my friends said to me: 'Can we stop in a layby?', and later: 'Can we have a conflab?' She laughed about it first, by the way. 'A conflab in a layby' is still a set phrase with us and gets trotted out whenever someone is being terribly pompous about something. :)

Is it though? Really? Fuck off!

None of these are nearly as bad as 'elarli'. I can't bear to hear that word any more.

That's a colloquialism not a buzzword. I don't imagine many of the millions of people who say 'ta' will be worried about being called retarded by people on LFGSS.

I sort of knew that. Still, sounds stupid and I hate it.
Those millions of people also read the Daily Mail.... so there. Who gives a...

"First world problem". Was once a way of pointing out that maybe someone was being a bit self-pitying; is now a way for people who cannot think for themselves to feel a bit smug by using a hand-me-down phrase they have picked up off the internet.

Conflab in a layby I know, I know
it's really serious....

'Cockpit', as in bicycles fucking stem/handlebars/levers. It's not a cockpit.

"Let's staircase this idea"

Lets not, but say we did.

I love staircases, where do you work?

I sat near someone in the office canteen the other day who was telling his "team" that they had to "manage their stakeholder's expectations". He did a lot of "air quotes" too.

I have A LOT of brand dna action at the mo. But I work in fashion so it's all fucked up really.

I've just started an arts based MA degree. I expect to have a lot to contribute to this thread soon.

What's annoyed me already is the verbal italics and emphasis everyone puts on the 'the' in 'the RCA'*. Like it must be acknowledged that it's the most important and brilliant place in the world every time you mention it.

But I'm sure I'll be doing it soon, once I'm sucked into the place for real.

*RCA stands for Royal College of Art btw

what does btw stand for?

bigotted tranny whores...

Any fucker that says socialised.

As in:

'I'll speak to him and try and socialise that before the meeting'.

Tossers.

Indeed. What does that even mean?

A DJ on Radio 6 just described the songs she had played as "the perfect sonic accessories for this Indian summer". Gahhhhhhh!
