From the mouths of the RVPO and RVPS... Phrases- "Let's think about this for a moment." "Think outside the box." "The process flows are essential." "Achieving essential outcomes." "Drill down conference call time." Words - "Expectations" - "Touchpoints" - "Execution" - "Empowerment" They'd be easier to digest if they were used honestly. |

"Well technically it is precast concrete to be exact. Actually, what you COULD do is change your layers...technically." -A jackoff in a couple of my classes. "We give him the latitude to use certain devices due to the type of work he does for us. It is somewhat monotonous in its context." - Jackoff supervisor (not mine) while working for the .gov for an internship. The "device" was an mp3 player. Some people are unfamiliar with what we like to call "common english" and think that using large words or additional words in places they don't need to be makes them seem smarter. Not true. |

pwn3d I could understand it's use more on a child's web site, but it just seems immature coming from an adult! The other is... "one off" OK, listen up! The term is "one of" as in "one OF a kind". I don't know if poor spelling started one off, or poor pronunciation, or people too lazy to say the whole phrase... slurring "of" to "off". Speak English!!! ...and learn to spell!!! |
