Lets have a thought shower is one I particularly dislike - it used to be a brain storm, but that's discriminatory.

[Felonious Crud]

Politicians' like to say "I intend to make a difference".

What the f*** is that supposed to mean?...

Liz Truss did.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

If you're dreaming about that kind of shite, you need tranquilisers. Probably administered by dart

I find people who start every sentence with the word 'So ....................
Very Bl00dy annoying

 

[safrane]

1) That is a great 'segway' into the next agenda item.

2) Lets 'brigade' those ideas

3) We need to square that circle

I could go on, but what happen to English as a language?

One team, One Dream! Be a Leader!
This was the tosh we had to espouse following the merger between 2 investment banks in the early noughties.
"Leaders" also had to stand up and give rousing speeches on what leadership meant to them (under the watchful eye of the new Stasi). I could hardly keep a straight face and stop my eyes rolling in disbelief (and I was having to give one of these oratorical masterpieces!)

Thankfully I no longer have to bother with all that guff, but I used to wonder whether the 'gurus' really believed their own b******t or whether they just chuckled as they picked up their consultancy fees. So much of the spiel these days can be distilled down to plain old common sense.

On a GWR train waiting to leave Paddington*, we are informed that there is a delay caused by 'crew displacement'.

Would anyone else like to take a swim in my think tank? I'm interested in other baffling expressions you all encounter as you go about your business.

*which is a train station in London, before you rural folk start grumbling

Would be a great euphemism for another great turn of phrase, ‘dropping the kids off at the pool’
