"hospital manager"! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Awwww Bless

 

"five and twenty past" is how some (older) people were taught!

 

"no more boom and bust"
"downsized"
"it's your round"
"you didn't tell me to test it"

 

I like this thread.

One of my all time hates is "Best endevours" Makes my blood boil. Basically means, no we don't have to do it / or not contracted to do it. But you WILL do it anyway or here is your P45.

Any my other is "Issues" instead of Problems.

Currently at work we have sad abbreviations, SOFTI - I can't remeber as I don't have to do the reports.. BUGS - Again, I forget, I'm not involved and the final, BITSO's - Business Information.......(forgotten)....Officers.

 

almost forgot - the best one of all...

"reality check" <like you would know>

 

<--- This is not a fanny FFS!

Who are you?
Stop touching me!
I'll call the police!
Help me! help me!
Raise your hands slowly in the air!

 

This is turning out to be a brilliant thread

A couple more.................

Repost.

 

Engage - but not the Jean-Luc way of saying it. Qouting from a presentation sent to me this very morning "difficulty in engaging the other sections with this proposal."

 

I get asked regularly how my "pipline is looking"

aaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!1

 

Actually, that's the Oxford English Dictionary's preferred spelling for most of the -ize words. Fowler said that the only reason people use -ise is so that they don't have to remember which are -ise and which are -ize (e.g. comprise, advise, etc.)

It's just the tip of the iceberg
I'll clue you in
I've got flu (when describing a cold)
For sure (I know this one's been mentioned already but it really annoys me)
For sure
For sure
For sure
For sure
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh.........

 

Great thread!

I hate when Yanks say "burglarized" instead of "burgled".

Other ones that make me cringe:

- This needs fleshing out
- Let's build a strawman
- We've got some skin in the game
- Let's whiteboard this one
- Imagineering
- We're on the same page
- We're in the ballpark
- Step up to the plate
- Awesome
- Fab
- Think it was said earlier but anybody who prefixes a sentence with "To be honest...." is probably lying
- Anybody who talks like Ned Flanders

OK Carl I recognize your point, maybe I should have put

Z when it should be S

and I was not refering to "incentivization" as a specific, I just think it is a horrible americanized pseudo word.

How about another pet hate of mine,

very unique - something is or it is not.

 

"Lets's do lunch"

"I'll diarise you"

"Vauxhall Nova"

 

at the moment it's being....

"Cute, blonde, 300ZX - single?"

 

"natch"

"critical path analysis"

"your round i think"

 

"didnt you see the black ice" err no !! WTF

 

"i'll pencil you in"
"i will try" - either do it or don't! As yoda would say "do or do not, there is no try"
