"Secular headwinds/tailwinds"
What the fuck does that actually mean? I know headwinds are things that are bad for you and tailwinds are good, but does it have anything to do with timing? And "secular?"
"can we unfuck this" is my favorite

"Tactical solution / Strategic solution"
"Implementation"
back of the envelope calculation/analysis

Sounds pretty similar to the Consulting world:
"Let's circle the wagons" "I'll be out of pocket that timeframe" (aka Out Of Office) "Ping me" "Low hanging fruit" "(Analyst), Do you have any cycles available" (also can substitute with "bandwidth") "That cost has been baked in"

70% of what is said on earnings calls by analysts. Think that half the analysts make up words and phrases as they go along. Not quite sure how management even knows what the hell they're talking about and is sometimes apparent that they don't.
"Can you shoot me your number?"
fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Any list without 'in the weeds' does not count. End of story.

"Deep dive", "Reach out", "Please action and revert", "Can i get your thoughts on this"
Anything written in an HR email
"Please advise"
It's worse when they say "Please advice"
I enjoying chucking internally when people use words and phrases that they clearly don't understand because they think it's the thing to do at the time or they're trying to appear in-the-loop.
I made top 5% of my class in management consulting and I got a generic email from my 6th line manager with congrats and replied to him and said "thanks" and he replied to me in email and said "your welcome." It was the most offensive email I have ever gotten. Made me sick. This dude - the nerve of mistaking your vs you're. Disgusting.
I do this all the time, mainly to piss off/troll the people I'm emailing.
Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
"Pease advise" = What the fuck?
The "real world'
How come the whole time I'm jogging, I hardly sweat. But then I get home and I sit here sweating for like 10 fucking minutes.
I can't even go shower because I'll still be sweating when I get out. Just gotta sit here cooling off like a overheated plasma gun in Halo.
WTH is wrong with you ?
