Crap 'Buzzwords'

singing from the same skywriting

Awesome.

"blogosphere"

A guy in our US office once told me a task i requested was "not in his biosphere". If he was in our office, i would have ripped his biospheres off and fed them to him.

Etc etc.. I loathe pricks who use these.. it’s a way to cover a complete lack of ability but a need to sound like you have half a clue.
People get paid to come up with these concepts.. sell books and managers buy in on it. I can’t watch that “your fired” program for fear of an aneurism, brought on by rage at these half wit estate agents giving it the “I AM”.. if you were you'd be fucking doing it and not on the telly box!
These people should be beat within an inch of their lives with a enormous steal pole shaped to spell “Incentivise”

'Blue sky thinking'

:(

they have been mocking me, haven't they.

I dunno, if it means chucking someone off a plane I might like it. Like 'defenestrate'.

Defenestrate is a masterpiece, I quite like it's close relation- to transfenestrate.

"De Plane" is just Tattoo's version.

Out of one and in another?

I never felt totally comfortable, when my female boss replied to all my suggestions/ideas with "I'll just have to suck it and see"

"ping" me an email.

'skinny', as in 'skinny latte'.

Out of one and in another?

I always took defenestrate to be out of, transfenestrate to be through.

A question of whether or not one opens the window before casting the item through it.

Didn't we do this thread a month ago?

I loathe "repost".

Repost.

'Natch', meaning 'naturally' (already a stupid word in such a context)

Didn't we do this thread a month ago?

oh, don't know. I was in the bowels of the Earth then, penning the last of my schoolwork. Sorry. UTFS showed nothing.

Nevermind.. I couldn't find it either.. I think it was this thread.. "figures of speech". It just rang a bell..

I'll raise you a 'Skinny Cappu' for a low fat cappuccino

One that nearly made me burn a bar down was 'Savvy B' where a girl was actually asking for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

And a new one whilst on holiday was a plum shaped daddy's girl asking who wants 'Tarra? We have 4 for tarra!' in a restaurant where I assumed she meant Taramasalata (which admittedly is shit word and despite all the characters used, would still give you a below par Scrabble score).

quit it hippy, this thread is hilarious.

The latter doesn't exist...

mugaccino? FFS!

There is a character in 'Twelve Angry Men' who uses these kinds of expressions - "Let's put this on the stoop and see if the cat eats it" so it's nothing new.
I was surpsised though when I watched the recent remake to hear this character say "Let's take our cocks out and see if anyone pukes on them".

Bloody atrocious. Why has this become a standard format for abbreviations? Please tell me it has nothing to do with Sunny D...?

i.e.

Tracksuit bottoms - 'Tracky Bs'
