A simple computer program which picked 2 adjectives and 1 noun from a list of 60's computer jargon. Very amusing at the time and a complete waste of company resourses. I seem to recall writing one.

JoetheRam Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Action. As in "Can you please action the below email?" High level approach. As in "I don't know any of the details of what I'm talking about, so I'm going to summarise this by taking a high level approach". Set hares running "Following on from my high level approach, I have set hares running because I wasn't able to provide any detail on any of the vague information I provided and people have begun gossiping about what may or may not happen".

SSD Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Get it done by the "End of Play"...... I'm in an office not on a football pitch! What was wrong with "the end of today" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was wrong with "the end of today" Where I work, it was "Close of business" and then "close of play" until the point we've got people calling the time they go home "full time". So you're absolutely right to relate it to sport "We're hoping to get this over to the customer by full time". Doesn't help when staffing levels make it an injury time equaliser at best.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Look lads we just need to conceptualise these words a bit more, yeah? Make a thought collage of all the words then have a visualisation session with them in a meditation chamber and you might find yourself understanding things more clearly. If you need me I'll be in my dream yurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It’s an oldie but goodie.....I can’t stand “heads up” just wanted to give you a heads up I won’t be in the office tomorrow translated- I’m on holiday tomorow thsre are so many, I really try to avoid them but it’s inevitable that you drop a few of them as you wander through the corporate world.

Came across a completely new one to me in a report today 'granularity'. I had to look it up and it means there is sufficient detail behind the headlines when you're looking at data. There you go!

This. A thousand times this. It started a decade ago in America and I found myself telling US colleagues who wrote "I'm reaching out to you to ask..." that I would not reply to them if they ever used that phrase in an email again. I know it's irrational, but... And now everyone uses it - even my parents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More granularity: Half of them want salt, a Quarter want Vinegar Even more granularity: Half of the half want salt AND Vinegar (cue cogs whirring). 60% of the half than don't want salt or vinegar are left handed. Using a political buzzword: people looking for more granularity are kicking the decision into the long grass!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
