    Uni. Are you so lazy you can’t say university?

    OHNOES TEH CONTRACTIONS

    Are you so lazy that you can’t type “so lazy that you cannot”? Presumably you always say “photograph”, “television”, “omnibus” etc?

    Guesstimate winds me up. It’s either a guess or an estimate.

    Colourway. Price point.

    A synonym for “colour scheme” actually winds you up? And a concise way of saying “approximate price range which is differentiable and identifiable within an economic market”? You wouldn’t get more annoyed by that phrase?

    Traumatic. As in “I’ve had a really traumatic day at work”. Really?

    Depends on the person’s profession.

    PC or politically correct, just why should you change the way you think just so youre politically correct.

    “Grab”. As in, “Grab a 5mm hex wrench.”

    Most of all of the above. But I’ll add Afgan, as a place, military folk talk of tours of duty in Afgan. The country is Afganistan.

    why should you change the way you think just so youre politically correct

    What, why should you stop being racist or sexist or homophobic or whatever? Dunno, can’t think of a good reason. Anyone?

    its a bloody shelf, not a bagging area

    It’s an area where you put things in bags, an action known as bagging. What shall we call this area in which we bag, so as to make it easily identifiable from the shelf on the left where you put your basket whilst scanning your goods? I know, let’s call it “a shelf”.

    “Grab”

    This is just getting silly now. Is someone going to claim that the word “potato” should never be used because it drives them round the bend?

    The country is Afganistan.

    Technically, you live in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But I’m guessing you contract that.

    And, also technically, the country is Afghanistan 😉

    “Hun” and “Babes” don’t know why it just grates my gears, got that today from a customer, never met them before.

    Chillax, it’s not even a word, don’t know where it came from, but it can go straight back there.

    I like to think of it as guess work, as in ‘can we extrapolate the costs’ 🙄

    No shortage of grade A lunatics at our place I can tell ya.

    and yip that ‘business hub’ is true, as is the ‘information node’

    it’s a bloody notice board!!!!!!! 😡
