Ah now you've taken us into a another genre, corporate newspeak bollocks,

My place is horrific for this sh1te

I'm driving the bus
functional stripes (departments or specific business teams in English)
Step up to the plate
raise the bar
All those good things
leverage
straw man

These just a few of the current and entirely lame turns of phrase that are use to try and bamboozle the gullible into believing the perpetrator actually knows what they are talking about.

Theres a woman in our office who says "turn around and say" which gets me..

Its usually along the lines of "if so and so says this then you should turn around and say x, then if they turn around and say to you thats wrong, turn around to them and say blah blah blah"

So dizzy.....

That must be a related equivalent of the common Glasgow phrase "And I was like that" at the end of most sentences! I've been careful to not succumb to a Scottish accent but alas I've picked up myself doing this from time to time. HELP!!!!

we get this down here too Richard, usually used by young un's, it's shows a chronic lack of vocabularly!

"And I was like *insert a physical expression*" :guns:
 
"An I went" instead of "and I replied"

This whole thing about repeating entire conversations "she said, then said .so she said" I suppose its better than trying to do it in different voices !

Funnily enough, most of the daily examples of this are before the train gets to Benfleet in the evening.........
 
''Theres no such word as Can't'' or ''I got off of the bus''...no you didn't ''you got off the bus''.
However the worst one for me was brought to my attention by Daughter last night, after a month of punishment (no laptop or Internet for a month due to cutting her sisters hair and calling her mum Elephant head), she was finally allowed the laptop back.
Upon my return from work yesterday she told me that she had been on the Harry potter website, and knew plenty of Harry Potter gossip such as the new film is due out soon etc
Then in a quite unabashed way informed me that Harry had a new girlfriend which was Rons sister but according to the website ''that was so gay''!!!!
NO since when was the idea of having a girlfriend gay????
I Despair at times.

Have to agree with you there mate, and most of them head towards Canvey as well.
 
In Cheltenham, 'Mint' is a word that really gets on my nerves. I had to get a couple of schoolkids to translate it for me.

It means awesome, wicked, cool. Mean's f*ck all to me when they say it like that!

It's a phrase that used to be commonplace at work until we all took the p!ss by spinning around on our chairs every time it was said.

My biggest pet hate is the word Buddy. Fcuk off! I'm not a yank & neither are you, so stop this yank sh!te! I hate most Americanisms that are creeping into our language, such as garbage, vacation & SOCCER!!

Another high on my list of hates is Lovely Jubbly & Super Duper. I worked with somebody who would say these words 40-50 times a day. I know this as I organised the daily sweepstake on how many times he would say this. He was a d!ckhead though!! :thump:
