This is a question Annoying words and phrases

Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

I work in the Admin Department of a sales company
So I hear some right crap....

All the usual bollocks such as 'actioning' things, thinking "outside the box" and "going forwards". I have become almost immune to this thanks to the fact my computer has speakers and I can sit and listen to music for most of the day.

Here are some other general ones that piss me off:

"At this moment in time". You mean "currently" or even, "now". Stop this immediately. It's one of those phrases that people use when they believe that using lots of words instead of one or two makes them sound more intelligent.

"Bear with me" when being transferred to another department. I always want to ask what type of bear it is.

"Eh?/"What?"/"Pardon" People who do this before you have even finished fucking speaking. You retarded cuntbadger.

One colleague who has since being sacked actually said to people on the phone "I'll let you run that up your flagpole and see who salutes it" ?! I had to take him to one side and have words with him about that one.

I'll think of more later. Also, hi everyone. First post, long time lurker and all that.

I frequently say "eh" "what" etc
because my hearing's crap. why bother making someone finish what they were saying when you didn't hear the first bit?

Cuntbadger?
This is one of my pet hates - using a swearword and then trying to combine it with something else, be it an animal or whatever, in an attempt to be funny.

Just shut up. Please.

Sort your own vocabulary out before starting on other peoples,
"Has since been sacked", not "has being sacked". Unless you're a fucking lolcat?!
