wackerchackers Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 "No brainer" ???? What does that mean??? " It's a big ask" That is REALLY annoying. Add it's not even grammatically correct. Anyone else any others?
superbobby Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 The overuse of the word 'literally'. As in "I was literally dead on my feet"
dci_bwfc Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Not so much phrases, just 'management speak' gets on my tits massively! A sample from within my company: "Ring fencing" "Intelligent hands" "Green fields"
Traf Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Not so much phrases, just 'management speak' gets on my tits massively! A sample from within my company: "Ring fencing" "Intelligent hands" "Green fields" brainstorming blue skying run that up the flagpole etc etc Corporate tw?ts.

no balls Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 A well known female poster on here counts how many times I say "correct" in her company. I presume I say it a lot! Then again, she's barking!

Carlos Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Any phrase that uses the word "entitled" when applied to abstract concepts such as thought. Anything that uses an apostrophe in a plurals. Anything with excessive exclamation marks, especially as a replacement for question marks (mark's !!!!111). WHY!!!!

HoldensHairdo Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Could cause controversy... "I'll Have fert" Bolton Phrase !!
MickyD Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Bullshit Buzzword Bingo. Write down a list of buzzwords on a sheet of paper and tick them off as they get mentioned. Get all your mates/colleagues to do the same. Rule: You have to stand up and shout HERE! when you tick the last one off.
MickyD Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 That is a huge one for me! How can anything be more than 100%? People who use it are obviously fcuking cretins! Of course it can. How would you more than double your money if you were limited to 100% profit?

(except Widnes who'd just be in his element) Sorry not having that, its used in the electrical business in connection to circuit breakers and or fuses
Barnstoneworth White Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 The phrase 'that's a given' makes me cringe, and folk that say 'period' at the end of a statement should be shot. American wannabees.
Big City Girl Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 "At the end of the day" My colleague throws it in everywhere. The other day we counted 6 'at the end of the days' in one phone conversation. It always raises a smirk in meetings too.
magic legs Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 That is a huge one for me! How can anything be more than 100%? People who use it are obviously fcuking cretins! Phil Brown mentioned giving a million per cent on MOTD at the weekend. My personal hate is the aforementioned "step up to the plate".

dci_bwfc Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Of course it can. How would you more than double your money if you were limited to 100% profit? Sorry I didn't spell out my point, it was meant as used in sporting terms i.e. 'The team gave 110%' - what a load of bollocks!
superbobby Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 "Sick to the back teeth" get's me. What's that all :p about
