Worst Office Jargon?

Used to hear these all day long until I got redunderised. After that I took stock, listened to my inner self and told myself to pull my socks up.

Then I got a job as a support worker / driver working with people with learning and physical disabilities.

I still get up at the same time but now it's with a cheery click of my heels. Money's crap but the job's great.

Is "I'll fire you an email" rather than 'send', a disclaimer, pointing out said email will be lacking in grammar, correct spelling and possibly utilizing txt speak - because they're 'firing' it and haste is of the essence?

 

Shirley not worse than (chav speak rather than office jargon) someone saying "inbox me"?

Right

 

I use office jargon sometimes, but I'm with you on "inbox me". What happened to "mail me"....send me a message?

 

But my real pet hate at the moment (and it's not office based bastardisation of language) is the fashion for adding of "ing" to every fucking word:

 

For example

 

"I'm loving twix bars"

 

What's wrong with "I love twix bars"?
