One I used to hate was, when in meetings someone would say “I’ll speak to you offline about that.” What are we floating about in hyperspace in this meeting here?
give me a ballpark estimate is another one
- what do u want me to do, fly to chicago and stand out in the middle of Wrigley field?,
Hyperspace? :rolleyes:
Cyberspace, of course.
I’ll take your brain to another dimension, well done Flano on paying close attention.
Not jargon but a customer lifted me out of it over the phone in work this evening. I basically clean forgot to do something important and he followed up with a dinger of an email too.
Last line was, 'I trust that we can set aside further time tomorrow to clarify how this situation initially arose and was subsequently handled, which of course you’ll agree was terribly badly’.
How dare he assume.
when i worked over in the states, the americans would often use the expression ‘good job’. :guns:
yeah the dozy, fat, white sneaker wearing, baseball loving , politically correct cunts also have a habit of causing fellow co-workers / or other groups they may be referring to in a meeting as “you guys”…
fucking tards
Heard one today on a conference call “The timing of today’s call is timely”

I had some emails with a client before where I had to issue an apology.
Basically this guy was giving the runaround for months saying he would get stuff back to me and not doing it. I then arranged to meet him in person to discuss the queries. Basically they were discussed, I worked through what he gave me and followed up with additional queries on the information provided, as discussed with him.
Your man threw a wobbler saying that he was under the impression that the meeting was to clarify all issues and there wouldn’t be anymore queries coming from that. He also copied my manager. He blatantly went back on what I verbally agreed with him at the meeting. He accused me of holding up the audit. I lost the head and said ‘if anyone is holding up the audit it is you, and has been you for months’. He threw a wobbler and complained to my manager who told me I had to apologise.
Clients can be right cunts but there is nothing you can do about it unfortunately.
This guy wasn’t technically a client though (fund administrator) so I would have expected a bit more support from by manager but he was a gutless fucker with his ‘pinsions’
I asked a partners p.a. in stokes, after her 5th call to the helpdesk that day for some basic computer issues, if she would like me to arrange computer training for her. She freaked out and reported it to my manager. He made me apologise for my “tone” in dealing with her, was raging with the coont, if your one couldn’t use a computer she shouldn’t have been doing the job.
You worked in Stokes Runty? Maybe I should have been aware of that but I wasn’t.
PAs are fucking scum. Serious inferiority complex.

Ya, I’ve mentioned it a few times before. P.A’s are the greatest cunts on this fair earth. Jumped up middle aged women who think they are important because their boss is important. Had some right good rows with them in my time.

You would have known Runt in stokes farmer - he was the fella who could just about reach your knee cap.
That was everyone for fuck sake!
Ok, just above your ankle so 
Eh, my username is ironic. I’m actually a big fucker.
That Rintintin fooker told me you were barely 4 foot tall when I met him.
Mac knows the score 
I can confirm the Runt is a little shy of 4ft 7.
PWC have a few pimpled faced guys in our building down here in Cork. Any TFKers amoungst you?
He carries it well though Rintintin
