Tonnes in my place of work, the ones overused at the moment are:


COP (close of play, which has replaced 'end of the day'.)

Bucking the trend

Kicking the tyres

'Im just going to call this one out'

I have my own company but when I meet clients or developers I hear a lot of the following

Think outside the box
Touch base
Moving forward
On the radar

There is a chairman of a big developer who talks in pure riddles, he seriously comes out with stuff and everyone just nods but in private they will admit to not having the first clue what he meant

You have your own company?
You mean you enjoy your own company, because no one else likes you!:shutup:

Continuous improvement.

Did anyone see the documentaries about Iceland? There Chairman is nuts but he's a self made man and it's won awards as the best place to work. he was at a meeting and asked some of his execs what certain stats and reports meant, none of them knew. He then asked about the 'fishbone problem solving tool', something my employer uses, and he dumped it straight out. good man!

VR?

Does your company make everything an acronym. Everything is an acronym in my office.

i like them usually, i take the piss or use them sarcastically, especially with my manager who doesnt seem to always get them. i think a lot of others do too.

except "reaching out". i hate that one.
