Going Forward
My manager uses it all the fucking time.

And I'm not fond of people repeating something, like: "I went there, I did" or "I like that, I do". Mainly Stokies that do it, so it must have something to do with being fucking inbred.

Oh aye!
But at least it's a nice sing-song accent. Charlotte Church going "oh monders! I like that, I do!" wouldn't bother me at all. Actually, I think it would. I'd end up donkey punching her. Ho hum!

I vote that, just for this week,
we change the "I like this" button to "I like this, I do".

Going Forward
I hear this all the fucking time too.

"We must be sure we have a clear statement of visions and values going forward."

"We must scope our strategy for employee engagement going forward."

"Budgetary alignment is a key issue going forward."

Boldly going forward, cos we can't find reverse.

I had a manager,
quite a young one (24) use "moving forward" to mean "we're not discussing this - I've said what we're going to do, end of line."

It was always fun when the clients didn't want to talk to him and he couldn't figure out why. Prick.
