"Could you make it snappy?"[/b] - said to me by my boss when I'm transferring demo files from a USB drive. I am not making you a sandwich or a cup of coffee. My response: "it's as snappy as it can be made" + "Stay out of trouble!"[/b] - what a fuggin lame 50 year old white male thing to say. Unless you are like robert fuggin loggia and accompanied by a snap of the fingers + point, please don't try to say this to say bye. others that bug you???

    having fun yet??[/b]

    I can barely even bring myself to type it out... this one has been latched on to by SO MANY folks from 30-60 who just love to say it ALL THE TIME... I have a deep fear that I will scratch out somebody's eyeballs someday after hearing this... its often said under the MOST OBNOXIOUS circumstances as well

    "I could care less" in place of "I couldn't care less"...makes no friggin sense.

    this and "quote unquote" are in that corporatespeak garbage language that includes such train wrecks as:

    Impactful
    moving forward

    "just wanted to touch base with you so we could be on the same page moving forward."
    AAAAAAAAAAAAHJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Shut the fuck up you drone!

    some of ya'll are probably guilty of this one "It's all good". And I really do have to say that there is a time and place for some of the above. "Touch Base", "On the same Page"? That shit's just business talk man, you can't win if you don't play. -(I like that one)

    corporatespeak garbage language


    HA! I hear this shit all week, every week. Our VP of Sales is the absolute worst culprit.


    the list continues..

    Want to ensure that we are in "lockstep" ...LOCKSTEP!?! < often followed with "going forward."

    Let's go over this "high level" < meaning not in depth.

    They are the leaders in that "space." < not field or industry anymore. Space is the place nowadays.

    Let me "connect" with you "offline" about that. < double whammy.

    We're "at the tipping point" with this deal. < meaning close to having a signed contract



    Also, when talking the talk, make sure to include as many "That Saids" and "Having Said Thats" as possible for it makes you sound professional as fuck.

    Your friend used some serious artistic license, because the way it always came down to me, it was "QUEER as a $3 bill." I think it was coined (no pun intended) back when that word still meant "strange" to most folks.
