"End user applications"
"End note tutorials"
"Embedded"
"Setting a precedent"
"Bear with me on this one"
"Gimme a ballpark timeframe"
"Within the window of oppurtunity"
"He/she/they dont have a leg to stand on"

Grrr.

Why not be a proactive team player going forward and upskill your core competencies by engaging in some joined-up blue-sky thinking outside the box in order to re-evaluate the big picture and take ownership of your mission-critical solutions? Don’t just settle for low-hanging fruit. Touch base with www.saidwhat.co.uk/bizphrases.php to find out what the hell I'm talking about.

Ahhh yes that touch base with you...

Don't waste my time and tell me what you really want.

LOL I am actually guilty of using

"Singing off the same Hymn sheet"
"Touching Base"
"Thinking outside the box"

But I do work in sales and being a bull****ter is part of the course

Alec Baldwins finest hour in Glengarry Glenross !!!

The funny thing is they used the "ABC" & "AIDA" in a job I had with a US Multinational back in the mid 90's.

Of course there is the Obscenity Count in Glengarry Glenross.

The "please revert" people piss me right off. Revert? What? Do you mean reply or follow up or something? ffs.

I had a manager who used to use that a lot.. the first time he sent me a mail with it I didn't know what the hell he was on about - "ohh, you mean please REPLY/RESPOND".

He was useless anyway... was the manager for 3 years and came out one day asking a colleague if he could email him to tell him what we did! :rolleyes:

It's true... the guy was the definition of "talk much, say nothing!" :rolleyes:
I remember walking into the office one day to find him just staring at the wall!

We used to call him "The Leader" (as in the Simpsons reference)
