"let's be proactive..."
The biggest idiots say this. I hate it. It means: "I'm stupid and I don't have anything to say.
There are some good ones in Mud's bingo chart above though.
In a previous career, I sat through endless dumb meetings where the people who had the table long enough to spout out the lowest brain stem statements won the game. After a while it wasn't funny because these jokers were serious. The business is now in liquidation.Ski Shop - Basement of the Hostel

Anything that uses a "K" when it is properly spelled with a "c"
On second thought, maybe that's not really the kind of business you were talking about.

Used to have a manager (woman) from Atlanta and she had the worst "southern-belle" hick accent I've ever heard.
She would say, "We felt it important to socialize this information with y'all."
Uhhhhg. Just fucking say it woman.

Hey now "end of the day" is very useful and I find myself using it more and more. I use to say "I'll get that to you within the hour" but that just cramped my two hour lunches and safety meeting schedule.

And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Can you run with that?
Why do I have to run when I can sit at my desk and get it done?

You don't really have to worry until it comes time to manage the headcount.
Which inevitably happens after you add too many resources.

The new system is a paradigm shift for the organization. It will revolutionize the customer experience while creating opportunities for future synergies, all the while reducing manual input and increasing overall efficiency. Right after that happens my arse will birth a star.

I don't know why, but I hate when business people use sports metaphors:
"Whoa...he really hit it out of the park with that one!"
"That right there is a game changer."
"We're late in the 4th quarter folks..."It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

I'm not sure if the client is ready for the home run. Let's aim for mediocrity and expand the project timeline.
