TPS report.
case of the monday’s
omfg we have a guy here that is the KING of these phrases… in the weekly directors meetings i used to try and keep track of the amount of cliche lines he used in his one page report.
it was usually in the range of 10-15.
thats kind of what we are trying to do, but from a hilarity standpoint.
grip it until it’s blue
choke’n the brass
all you can eat crab’s legs
painting the band-aids
sorry…i work at a stripclub.
Contrigulation, contrigulating, contrigulated, etc.(I use it all of the time.) lol
I knew a guy that said this all the time…“The Whole 9 yards.”
Build from the ground up.
shake the bushes
shake the trees
rattle cages
action steps
visualization
accomplishing goals
crunch the numbers
Got a shiver down my spine at “Value add”. The douchebag who ran the last place I worked at into the ground said that all the time. He was the king at always shifting the blame for his latest failure to someone who had just quit/been fired/been laid off. It finally caught up to him but the company was in really bad shape by the time he was fired.
“Mission Statement”, and all the bullshit that goes along with it.
“Does this fit with our mission statement” etc etc.
Tweek or tweak.
I tell vendors, “You need to sharpen your pencil on this RFQ(request for quote).”
Fubar, snafu. I think they are originally from the military.
Over the past few months everyone has started using “breadth” as much as possible…
Some of the less professional include; “we took it in the ass on that one” or “we got boned” lol
God I hate these.
In a holding pattern. (Ooh are you flying a fucking plane? No? Then STFU!)
Reinventing the wheel.
low-hanging fruit
I’ve got your low hanging fruit right here!
Has wheel spinning been mentioned?
I also enjoy when sales people/customers throw around technical jargon and have no idea wtf they are saying…I sit there and cringe and turn red in meetings…
Every time someone asks me for the “root cause analysis” i want to punch them in the face.
Throw under the bus
We have got to nip this in the bud.
