Inboxed you

Especially with the omission of “I have” Grrrrrrr!

What exactly is inboxing someone?

Is it the art of putting or having put someone in a box?

Or a term for pugilism in an Inn?

Or perhaps something more managerial – I have decided that your thinking is not sufficiently diverse from normal practice?

Daily driver

Times many when describing anything other than a vehicle

Anything that is presented via PowerPoint and involves IT speak. The **** presenting know that 90% of people in the room don’t understand the terminology yet seemingly refuse to speak in layman’s terms. Another 5% love it and the remaining 5% is me looking out of the window.

Edit – in fact any industry specific speak used when talking to people who don’t work in that field. Marks the speaker out as a bit of a dick in my opinion.

I once hung up on a guy from work halfway through a conversation because he was talking entirely in business bullshit.

“war on motorists”

“Off of”. As in “I got it off of Amazon”. You mean “from”.

Possibly already mentioned but…  Hard working families.

Hard working young families

Be will you in a second.

A second ? One second ???

Off of”. As in “I got it off of Amazon”. You mean “from

Ah, gotcha. So it’s ‘I got it off from Amazon’ then? 👍

“now look”

“now listen”

When  ‘answering’ a question. It’s not an answer, it’s a command. Standard new age psycho-speak, designed to not answer the question, and avoid it and change the subject.

When you see it in politcos in the media, it becomes really obvious, and they are really over-using it.

‘I got it off from Amazon’ then?

That’s a very specialist porn site.. JB would not approve!

This thread is so fun.

Repeated use of acronyms in meetings.

Using a term, giving it an acronym, and then failing to use the acronym anywhere else in the document.

Steering clear of office buzzwords.

• Body english
• A ‘quiver’ of bikes
• ’Sleeps’ until ‘hollibobs’ or Chrimbo
• ’That there Landan’
• ’Analogue’ bikes
• ‘Drivechain’ not drivetrain
• Furbabies
• Peddles

Body english

Huh?

Now then….

er, now, or then?

fixed that for you

No, you didn’t, you just disagreed with me.

No I didn’t.

Now then

I work with 2 guys from Hull. Quite literally, every utterance is prefaced with ‘now then’ 😂

If you know, you know

Sending healing vibes

Underrated

Body english

Huh?

Use your body English on the bike… stay fluent.

Steering clear of office buzzwords.

What do you mean, steering? Are you a rancher?

This is niche, but when young soldiers refer to their beltkit/body armour as a ‘loadout’. This isn’t COD or Airsoft you weapon.

Me: See that tree on the horizon?
Them: Yes.
Me: Run to it and apologise for making it work so hard to replace all the oxygen you’re stealing.

‘Outwith’

I agree that I go out with my dog a lot for walks, but he’s never *outwith* our considerations when we travel.

‘Whereas’ used in legal text. Meaning “it is the case that” and not the normal English meaning of a counterpoint.

And the biggest two that get my goat,

“Letting go” when the evil barsteward employers actually mean you’re being made redundant being sacked, or otherwise tossed away because they don’t give a sh1t about their employees and the impact it can have.  Which ever HR arsehole introduced that from the Septics needs stringing up with a rusty cheese wire by their goods. Use the real words and cut the BS.

‘Thermal Event’ – when what they mean is a FIRE.  Another Septic Lawyerism that should result in their bollox being doused in petrol and  dangled 1/4 inch from the top of a very very large ‘thermal event’.

Use your body English on the bike… stay fluent.

At the risk of repeating myself,

Huh?

I work with 2 guys from Hull. Quite literally, every utterance is prefaced with ‘now then’ 😂

That is the standard greeting where I grew up.

Oftentimes I heard my headmaster at high school using that to say hello.

EDC – i carry my wallet every day so is it an EDC

Workaround – it doesn’t work

Outside the box – you will be in a box if you say that again

Supply chain – business you buy stuff from

As such.

Me: See that tree on the horizon?

Them: Yes.

Me: Run to it and apologise for making it work so hard to replace all the oxygen you’re stealing

😂😂👏👏👏👏

Supply chain – business you buy stuff from

Whereas the supply chain includes not just your immediate vendor but all the vendor’s vendors.

‘Outwith’

In common use in Scotland. I do have to catch myself from saying it when speaking to non Scotland-based colleagues though.
I still wonder if it is completely interchangeable with outside though 🤔

Our higher ups have started using the term Shark Tank for their prioritisation sessions.
It should at least be Dragons Den. ****

I find myself using “by here” (meaning is obvious) and “to” meaning “at”, having lived in South Wales for 30 years.

As in “Where’s that to then”
“By here”
“Tidy butt”.

“To” just seems to help with the rhythm of the sentence.

I still wonder if [outwith] is completely interchangeable with outside though 🤔

My understanding is that “outside” refers to a physical space whereas “outwith” is more intangible. So you could be outside your car, whereas you could have a question which is outwith the subject of a forum thread.

Personally I’d just stick with “outside of.”

Will use it on the kids instead..

At the risk of repeating myself,

How is your movement vocabulary? Is it good, or are you a bit of a (movement) dunce?

Are you a parkour king or queen, or do you make Mr Bean look athletic?

pretty sanguine about most of this stuff, however…..Unexplainable.

The fires of hell and eternal damnation shall consume the immortal soul of the prolapsed colon of a human being that utters such blasphemy before I.
