Awsome.
Pulled the trigger.
Agree with 'pulled the trigger', can't say I've heard anybody say it in person, but it's a regular occurrence on ph. Along with 'leptons' as already mentioned by another poster in this thread. Another ph saying that annoys me is the 'frozen sausages' line. As soon as I see that I lose all interest in what might have been an interesting thread.Pulled the trigger.
Away from ph, my boss has a habit of saying 'if you remember' not an annoying phrase in itself, but over the years we have discovered what ever follows will be utter bulls
t and not in fact, how we remember it.
Sorry but I've got a headache.
At the end of the day.
I have not read the first 6 pages.
Diesel should be banned.
Am I doing this right.
Hammer some frozen.................................... I just can't bring myself to type it, but should result in an instant ban.
Throw a can.................................................... I just can't bring myself to type it, but should result in an instant ban.
That is so council.

My bad
When someone says Carnival , no THE in front , when talking about the Notting Hill Carnival ( that could just be me personally)
For sure - spouted by anyone involved in any form of Motorsport while talking on the tv
I also know two people who after just about every sentence say "And that". And that what ??

Myself/yourself, when used as a substitute for me/you.
Yourself has been used in the Scottish highlands and islands for years. "It's yourself <insert persons name>" as way of a greeting or acknowledging someone when meeting them. Certainly was commonly used in the older generations.I have to agree with other posters on office speak. Usually a sign the person using these blue sky thinkng type phrases likes to be heard but generally doesn't know what they are talking about in great detail.
Going forward is a pet hate of mine. I'm glad you mentioned that as I thought you were talking about doing it last week.
And one I have become aware of, only in my own workplace is a few people preceding what they are about to repeat because the person they are talking to hasn't understood exactly what they were trying to get across in the first place with "What I'm saying is.....".
And another term which I hate is the "webinar". Another corporate buzzword based on seminar where some dreary CEO broadcasts some uninteresting message over the companies internet site.
