"And they all sit around talking!"
“We had complimenting genitalia.”
I drink to survive.
“Do you guys wanna see me eat pizza?”
Literally everything my manager says.
I felt that hahaha
North star
How many freaking north stars will I have to be aware of and/or discover this year?!?!?
“Let me noodle on this.”
Ew. Whatever you’re about to do to it, I don’t want it back after..
@freelance, I can't think of one creepy noodle example, nor do I want to! ☺️
I can’t hear global pandemic again. It’s redundant. Pan=global 🤦♀️
ATM Machine
“Level set”
“High level view”
“Bifurcate”
Everyone please just shut up
Don't hate on "high-level view". Where will strategy folks go without it?
"Circle back"
Make sure to touch base later 🤮
Align. I loathe it for some reason.
Me too! I refuse to use it
Anyone else reading through these and feeling super called out? No, just me? 😅
😂 I use "Let's take this offline" so much. Just a nicer way of saying "This is not the time and place to discuss this in depth right now"
“Operationalize”
“Leverage”
“Let’s not reinvent the wheel on this”
Oh man, I said the second one today on my call, only to be echoed by another person #blindleadingtheblind
“Net net”
Nyet nyet
Does anyone else hate the sound of their own voice when they hear themselves saying these trite phrases?
“Let’s double click on this” 🤢
No, no, no. Definitely not okay

Agree. Deep dive makes me feel 😳
“Fell off my radar” 🤯🤯🤯
Enthusiast
OR it’s because your agency is behind on hiring and you’ve been short staffed for almost a year now. 🤯 I need that time turner from Hermione. ⏳
“Amen and awomen”
“Soup to nuts”
Who has nuts with soup? Or does the soup ultimately reach your nuts? Or are they hardware nuts not food nuts? And what is wrong with saying “start to finish” or “from A to Z?”
“Good learning opportunity” when they want to use you for free work that no one wants to do.
“Lean six” as a verb. “Let’s lean six that process.” Also I despise the use of lean six when talking about people. I can’t think of a more heartless way to treat your workforce.
I’m in commercial, so we just use different colored glitter.
“Learnings.” The “learnings” we got from that.
Barf.
