I drive for a living. After hearing my dispatcher mention on several occasions, that he was going to ‘reach out’ to a customer (meaning telephone a customer), I asked how long he would be, as we do need someone in the dispatch office.

He was not amused, but refrained from using that horrid phrase.

I can honestly say I never participated in this silliness but I sure heard a lot of it. A few compatriots and I created a game called BS Bingo and secretly handed out bingo cards to our strategic allies at the beginning of conferences. Instructions were to sound out with “Bull S—t!” when the player had filled his card spelling out these words based on matching silly phrases used by the meeting participants. The corporate speak players never did figure out what we were doing.

“Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too!”?

No, that was Brandon's work, way before my time. But I DID keep a pic of Brandon trying out his new slogan...

“Do the needful”

Now that’s a new one. Is that an Asian thing?

“...someone on Fox delivered herself of three trite expressions in one sentence.”

So VP Harris was a guest on the show?

She’s probably watching this thread closely getting ready for her next speech.

I would think the opposite.

“Gimme crack corn, and I don’t care...my master’s gone away.”

I suppose in that case, “cracked corn” doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well....too dry, I suppose.

Somebody give me a reason to hate “stake holders”. That was a new one for me, but it makes sense (everyone who has a “stake” in the project - owner, contractors, community, etc.). I just don’t like it for some reason.

Now you’ve gone and done it.

A whole bunch of crazy Liberals are, at this very moment,
bowing and chanting in front of little statues of St. Greta the Bridge Troll.

How dare you!!
