I'm not sure I could use "moving forward" once a minute, but I might try next week at work.<br /><br />Jaded - Hahaha I have never heard BONE used in a corporate sense before.<br /><br />Ella - Start using it! They will follow.<br /><br />Anon - ewww. Have never come across that one, will avoid.<br /><br />Phil - Hahahah! Totally does. I might start using it in that context. "Back in five, I have to diarise."<br /><br />Lily - I am going to start using SOMINTI whenever describing a 'fresh' idea.<br /><br />jadeluxe - hahahaha! I forgot 'key deliverable.' You are very au fait with the corporatespeak. Congratulations but also you should be ashamed of yourself.<br /><br />Anon - Yes! Team Leader annoys me too. I call my TL "boss" and "glorious leader" and sometimes "big dog" because I hate TL so much.<br /><br />Tooting - Yes! Upthinking is the new buzzword. I will also start using it. I've never heard of blue sky thinking :(<br /><br />SueAnn - Oh man, I remember paradigm. Glad that's subsided a bit!<br /><br />chris - Oooh! Solutioneering! I'm going to use that. Sometimes I go into mega-corporatespeak to annoy my boss.<br /><br />Amy - apologies to your fiance :)<br /><br />Juicebox - :O You've changed, man. You used to be cool. I do love "get across it" though.<br /><br />AnaDrea - Hahaha! I'll remember that next time that phrase comes up.IT IS ALLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854190246186613066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-66341335514998122022010-07-23T08:51:20.979+12:002010-07-23T08:51:20.979+12:00The big one at my old job was "At the end of ...The big one at my old job was "At the end of the day..."<br /><br />umm..

I learned a lot of good wankspeak from <a href="http://youlooknicetoday.com/" rel="nofollow">You Look Nice Today</a><br /><br />When you are in a meeting like the one you described, what would be great would be for the Supreme Boss of the organisation to walk in. Everyone defers to him - he is the money. He is dressed in a frock coat and he has a periwig. He speaks in Dickensian English, and takes forever to finish his sentences. Every now and then he takes snuff. <br /><br />Whenever someone says "action that!" or "cascade to FTEs" - he says something like "Damn your eyes Mr Frampton, what the DEVIL DOES THAT MEAN?" And then he transfers them to the coal-picking division.Chris Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152910879307366272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-69296857088474590942010-07-22T06:17:49.937+12:002010-07-22T06:17:49.937+12:00Ha!

It just never changes...they always like to hang on catch phrases and they use them and use them and use them!!
