Are there any phrases or replies that bug you? I hate it when someone is asked how they are and instead of giving a sensible reply says,"I'm good." >:(
-
..."at this point in time".....and......."at the end of the day" ::) ::) ::)
-
At the end of the day and at this point in time I hate, "Guess who I met today? "
How the HELL would I know ?????
-
"Play date"
(When a kid goes to another's house.)
It's just too pretentious for me....
-
At the end of the day and at this point in time I hate, "Guess who I met today? "
How the HELL would I know ?????
Always the prompt for a stupid answer I find.

When Deb's stops watching Road Wars we shall have to ask her for some 'nice' sayings, you know the ones, lots of words that mean nowt. ;D ;D ;D That is what bugs me. ;D

Me too, I have never heard of that one. :)

..and "Human Resources", "HR".
I mean, what was wrong with "Personnel"??? ::)
"Chair" instead of "chairman", and yes you can have a female chairman.
(In fact Harriet Harman was quoted today as saying "I speak to constituency chairs up and down the country ... they are fully behind Gordon Brown." Perhaps she ought to speak to people instead of furniture. ;) ;D

If for a moment you forget what day of the week it is & ask:- "is it Tuesday?" some pleb always has to come back with:-"yeah all day"
That REALLY makes my sh*t itch. >:(

You mean...
"Following your interview in regards to the position of xxxxx I am sorry to inform you [like bloody hell they are!] that you have been unsuccessful.
However, due to the qualitites you display [bullshit!*] we feel sure that you will soon secure the position you are seeking [no they damn well don't!]
All the very best [not genuine!]
Yours sincerely [they are not really!] "
I have been involved in this type, amongs't others, of bullshit* for much of my business life.
*Even this system is kidding us; every time I enter "bullsxxt", "bullsnaff" appears!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

That's the way. Don't beat around the bush. Tell it like it is. You didn't have to ask, after all.

"I will give 110%"
The max anyone can theoretically give is 100%. In practice it is much less.
