DAKA Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 We'll circle back to that We need to drill down... ************ more ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Well if the circle is a loop of rope and the drilling down involves digging a hole, I might not find the phrases so irrirtating... 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 A new one is Circle of Competence. A euphemism for keeping people out of the information loop. The whole team does the work but in compartmentalized form then a select few are the Circle of Competence and get the credit, pay, promotion Etc. because they get all the information. Basically how management screws the team and gets rich. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When them young supervisors came in and said we need to do a deep dive I thought you're going to be another stupid boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted May 3 Administrators Share Posted May 3 I encountered a new bit of media-speak in a local news story online yesterday. A homeless guy was repeatedly referred to as unhoused. Apparently this term is 'trending' (Another bit of jargon I ******* hate) and I am just now becoming aware of it. Why do people waste time and energy on this kind of crap? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted May 3 Administrators Share Posted May 3 As I was typing this, I have Fox Weather running in the background. I just heard the weatherman refer to a storm as volatable. Does that mean it has the capacity to become volatile? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted May 4 Administrators Share Posted May 4 I just turned on Fox Weather again, to check today's weather. The weather reporter was discussing the storms over central Texas. She was talking about the storms converging, but what she said was, "...As the storms come together and congeal..." What the hell happens when a thunderstorm congeals? Is that hail? Sludge? What is falling on those poor people's heads in central Texas? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Antisemitic sure has become a popular buzz word as of late now hasn't it? Almost makes me long for the days when I was just called racist and transphobic. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
