I have issues with co-workers spewing business shite out their gobs such as 'thinking outside the box', 'touching base' and being a 'team player'.

You know the one that really pisses me off?

"Keep me in the loop."

Don't know about a loop, mate, but you're perilously close to the farking noose.

I do like 'Brain Dump' though. Another way to describe 'Brainstorm'.
Hehehe, there's quite a senior bloke within the Defra electronic communications bit who came out with that one. Still have a little chuckle about it now and then.

Hehehe, brain dump.

I once misinterpreted this and locked a colleague in the toilet.

Somebody wrote something today about "Veterinary Inspectors working within various spheres" or some such nonsense.

What are you talking about you idiot!? Have the vets taken up zorbing or something? If you mean "field" or "area", then say that. You don't have to come out with a word that doesn't really mean anything to try and impress people.

Myself and a fellow 'boss' actually started logging the cliche's then started trying to make each other laugh out loud in meetings by coming out with the most silly terms whilst speaking.

Some other classics.

All trying to eat from the same cake or is that :pie:

another feather in your cap

back in the rat race

back to the grindstone

blue sky view

bring down the hammer

can't make an omlette without breaking any eggs

fighting too many battles on too may fronts

finger in alot of pies

all guns blazing

go the extra mile

hit the floor running

honey trap

however you cut the cake or agin :pie:

left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

looking for your next meal ticket

make hay while the sun shines

move the goalposts

on the receiving end as well as the giving end

one swallow doesn't make a summer

over egging the pudding

re-inventing the wheel

robbing Peter to pay Paul

singing from the same hymn sheet

Strike while the iron is hot

the proof of the pudding or :pie: is in the eating

throw some ideas in the melting pot

throwing it at the wall and seeing if it sticks

time and tide waits for no man

too many chiefs not enough indians

too many cooks spoil the broth

window in your diary

you pay peanuts you get monkies



There's plenty more that actually get used all the time. The fun we have!

:)

We didn't keep a colleague in the loop once and he got upset and took his bat and ball home!

"Strategic" seems to be a current buzz word when somebody needs a pointless adjective.

"going forward"
How about "taking forward delivery"?

"The Delivery Partners Policy Team (DPPT) is taking forward the delivery and enforcement of animal health and welfare for the Department. It leads on two key areas of work."

People in our Department even seem to think it's clever to use rubbish management-speak to address the public.

The best is when there's a disease outbreak and at our 'bird tables' we discuss what the 'battle rhythm' will be.

farking gibberish.

I do. No question. If I go quiet on the forum for a while, please contact Staffordshire Police on 08453 30 20 10, and have some bail money ready. Seriously. :grr:
