“Silos.”

When our company got bought out by a bigger company the victors took over everything, including the vocabulary.

For weeks they talked about “silos.”

Finally I said we don't have silos down here much; can we just say corncribs.

They were not amused.

I work for an international chip company. I hear the phrase "Do the needful" regularly. One of the ladies over there calls me "ji" regularly. It turns out, it more or less means "chief". I rather like that one, even though Perry White never did.

There’s also “kindly” and “on priority”. I’ve also gotten “many lakh thanks” occasionally.
