Let's take this discussion offline and circle the wagons to engage in some blue sky thinking to determine if a paradigm shift is warranted. We'll have a deliverable by COB Today.

^^^ lol. since i work with some really medically verbalized people (mostly doctors), they forget that no one knows what in the hell they're talking about in terms of medical jargon and will go on and on and on about stuff. the project leader will try to be like, "okkkkkay let's take this offline" and the person keeps going and going. when i had to take meeting minutes, i would just not even try and email the person later and be like, "yo can you hit me up with a summary with what you went on a ramble-page on?"

"circle back" is my most hated phrase

8/16/2011 9:45:07 AM

Any use of the word synergy

8/16/2011 10:06:11 AM

"Value Added"

8/16/2011 10:12:36 AM

"business as usual" I think they have to say that at least 5 times in every training/webinar.

8/16/2011 10:13:52 AM

I thought that "synergy" went out 5 years ago and was replaced with "innovation".

8/16/2011 10:16:58 AM

There's this one project manager who's "the cool guy with the sports cars."
He started saying "Why don't you take swag at it and tell me the results?"

Now all his little buddies say that shit..."Take a swag at it." "Give a it swag." "Go for a swag and get back to me."

Everytime I hear that word I'm all

someone should tell cool guy he's doing it wrong

8/16/2011 10:22:49 AM

challenge the status quo

8/16/2011 10:35:29 AM

motherfucker i hate the phrase "push back" so much.

8/16/2011 10:47:15 AM

push back and ping are also frequently used here

actually pinging is called spark, "I'll spark you later about it"

i think sparking is what Woody Guthrie called fucking

8/16/2011 11:17:03 AM

ping doesn't bother me, and I'm guilty of using it, but given that the ICMP ping is kind of ingrained in what we do here, it's at least relevant.

8/16/2011 11:35:00 AM

i had this supervisor that always said "you gotta stay LASER FOCUSED"

8/16/2011 11:35:19 AM

"Nature of the beast."

"It is what it is."

8/16/2011 11:46:58 AM

'Keep me posted.'

8/16/2011 11:49:01 AM

I say context, and clarity a LOT.

8/16/2011 11:49:34 AM

even in an academic environment the "operators" use language like this...

8/16/2011 11:54:21 AM

'Lean forward'

I hate this shit, every time we get caught up and seem to be in a chance to take it easy, we have to lean so far forward that it actually becomes detrimental

8/16/2011 11:55:40 AM

this makes me so glad I don't work in an office setting

8/16/2011 11:58:20 AM

I could probably build a logical sentence out of nothing but acronyms.

I think it's nice that they make it known they're gone instead of the whole dept looking for them in vain.

I cant believe it took so long to post this. I hate it so much when people say this.

I got called out one time for telling a co-worker based in the UK that I would "shoot" them an email. Apparently we are the only culture that says that.

8/16/2011 2:30:11 PM
