Default "Heads up" WTF?!

What's all this "heads up" bollox?
It means absolutely nothing and is a product of misguided gimps using office BS to try and sound knowledgeable.

Not far off "you need to grow as a person," "at the end of the day," "win win situation," "24/7" and all the other time filling BS that many people seem to spout these days.

Please stop at once.

You may be way off the line with this thread, Matteeboy, you should have run it up the flagpole to see which way the wind was blowing first

From a helicopter viewpoint, Mattee, you're trying to square the circle and think outside the box mate.
Look at it from the top down and it'll be fine.

You need to get on message, be first to the plate and ensure you have enough bandwidth to rattle out cliches

Another way of saying pay attention - makes perfect sense to me, unlike some others namely win-win, which is just used to persaude people to do something they don't want to.

We are going to have to leverage everything in order to shift gears.

As long as I'm kept in the loop people can use whatever 'bollox speak' they choose.

Heads-up is a when there are two people remaining in a poker tournament.

It's normally where i find myself when sitting down to play cards.

Frankly I think there's some great ideas on this thread - we just need to take some time to unpack them all.

I just don't have the resource to deal with this thread now, throw it into the next timebox and I'll deal with it then.

I've had this on my radar for a while now but I'm being a good corporate citizen and I'm plugged in to other improvement opportunities at the moment.
But tell you what, let's throw it in the air and see how it lands...

Or "road map" when talking about a plan!
