Utilize! Utilize! Utilize !
At the end of the day,
When all is said and done,
It is what it is...
I had a boss that used that.
I have a “manager” who is a complete fraud with zero qualifications to hold the job he lied through his teeth to get 3 years ago.
Every time I see him, hear his voice or get en email from this loser my blood pressure skyrockets.
The thing that really infuriates me though is every email this clown sends he starts ot out with “Attention Team”
The word ‘team’ needs to be killed off completely.
“should be a felony to attach to every AI post on LinkedIn the phrase “Game Changer”.”
I hadn’t thought of that.
That idea is a game changer.
Right. I’ve heard “crack” or “cracking” used as an adjective to mean “exceptional, superlative, excellent.” “A crack (or crackerjack) crew” or “a cracking good movie” I’m familiar with.
“Crack cocaine” I’ve heard to mean a particularly potent or addictive form of cocaine. But used as in “crack chicken,” etc. is new to me.
LOL...nope. But I DID come up with “Fifty Four Forty or FIGHT!”
Why, Bob’s your uncle!
Diversity
Equity
Inclusion
Social Justice
Reparation
Sounds like an “existential threat.”
Did you also coin “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too!”??? :-D
Oooh, good one! Everything is an “existential threat” these days, isn’t it?
“Under-promise and over-deliver.”
Or, the more realistic, cynical version - “improved performance through lowered expectations.”
Milieu. That’s not used so much nowadays.
As in:”She’s a mover and a shaker; part of the 1% social milieu.”
“Pardon my French!”
I also threw on a couple others that were particular to our department, which is a bunch of tech nerds. One of the squares was "making a Star Trek reference". Other ones not on this list were "referencing a view from X number of feet". Also, "Long Pole".
Fortunately, the bosses are cool, and could take mocking of the buzzwords. It also kept everybody engaged and listening. Also a rule of "you cannot cover something you said" just so you could make your own Bingo. Good times.
HaHa! I agree with you on your “reach out” comments. I’ve been puzzled by the use of this for several years now. I hear it ALL THE TIME and I want to say: CALL me, don’t reach out to me. Please.
Yes! That one definitely triggers me.
Lol! I’m betting the actual French don’t like that term.
