Rovers Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I heard a football announcer say " the plurality of that offense..." I guess they know they sound stupid, so they have advisors on hand to find 3 syllable words they can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt770 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Our district manager constantly says "from a ____ perspective..." "We need to look at how we can improve from an order quality perspective." "Supplier promised a mid-October delivery, but this is not acceptable from a customer perspective." I tend to write "please advise" in emails all the time. Please advise status of this delivery, please advise if customer has granted access to their datacenter, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I heard a football announcer say " the plurality of that offense..." I guess they know they sound stupid, so they have advisors on hand to find 3 syllable words they can use. My "favorite" football announcer speak? "x unanswered points". I would have no issue if, in fact, the other team never scored again. However, that phrase is not the same as "X number of straight points", because if the Jets score a TD and then the Ravens score 21 pts before the Jets score again, it is not 21 "unanswered points" because the last points were, in fact, answered. Now, if you want to get technical. A TD is not worth 7, but rather 6 so the PAT does mean the 6pts were actually "unanswered" by the opponent. However...

wildcat2334 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 "Going forward" was the one that drove me nuts. "Going forward, we expect to see profits rise." Unnecessary. My wife is in PR and they say "bridge back" all the time, as in, "Let's bridge back to the original topic." let's catch up when you have more bandwith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) I've said it before and I'll say it again because I want everyone to know why I'll eventually choke the life out of a co-worker. When someone asks you a question, you answer it, and they say "Right" like they are confirming your answer like an f'n elementary teacher. No, you idjut brain-damaged moran...you didn't know the answer.,,,that's why you asked the stupid f'n question you should've known the answer to in the first f'n place.

delusions of grandeur Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The newest one that makes me want to strangle someone is "the suck"... Such as, "I don't want to go see that movie. That would be the suck".... Seriously (I'll get to that word in a minute), you can't even make up your own word to denote suckiness? But I do use the "seriously" alot because, like, you know, it denotes a degree of seriousness and junk... Just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
