[QUOTE=“Kinvara’s Passion, post: 948055, member: 686”]“take this offline”
I love this line, I use this quite regularly.
It thinly veiled as… I did fuck all research before this call and am highly vulnerable here but by the time we link up offline i’ll be an expert.[/QUOTE]
I like to use “breakout meeting” when in a similar situation.
Julio whats the story with bla bla bla.
Ya making progress on it, no point boring everyone. We’ll have a breakout meeting on it. I’ll put something in the diary.
Balanced scorecard.
Wtf?
I like making them up and seeing if any stick.
I’ll see if I can drop this in somewhere in the next week
can you ladybird that acronym for me
[QUOTE=“cluaindiuic, post: 157979, member: 258”]We’re going with a broader, vaguer, Simpsons/Westerns inspired term.
The term is “Paint your wagon”.
The hope is that it can expand and evolve in to more and more ridiculous spin off metaphors. We have lads slipping it in to emails already.
We also hope for a natural progression to PYW.
There were discussions last night about possible Wikipedia pages, editing some company terminology pages and also having a scoreboard of confirmed usage in larger meetings.
Whatever gets you through the day…
Feel free to join in.[/QUOTE]
@TheUlteriorMotive Something I posted a long time ago here. Creating your own jargon.
What does it mean?
I haven’t heard that one. Superb. 
You’ll have to paint your own wagon there Fran.
i just got an email from some sick fucker, he used the term “you guys” twice in the mail, and drew a smiley face after some comment he wrote i presume to imply a joke.
This was bad enough but then at the end had the following signature:
“its kinda fun to do the impossible” - walt disney

what a cunt.
“hard stop” in a meeting I was in when somebody suggested breaking the meeting and reconvening later as they had a hard stop at 5
“that is fine” I said “but I am not going to bop to the Eurythmics” - I think I used it to mean I am not going to dance to your tune
Nobody batted an eyelid

Yeah, every cunt laughing like they knew what was going on…
I have an “all hands meet” for 2 hours today. Shit down and listen to absolute gunk about whats happening 3 layers above me.
I am only interested in the later above me for now… one rung at a time.

“All Hands” happening here too right now. I don’t go to those types of meetings any more.
The collective wastage of time in those meetings annoy me.

Smiley faces have no place in the business environment.

No doubt they’re on some forum somewhere giving it loads about some cunt in their meeting using the term “I am not going to bop to the Eurythmics”.
what is your position on reply to all mails BT?
i despise the replay to all “thanks to…” but i guess some of our subordinates need to be placated in such ways

I don’t believe your story. It’s a lie. You did not say that.
