The appalling clichés thread.

These:

"Trust me.."

"Stuck between a rock and a hard place."

"It's on the tip of my tongue."

"The way I see it..."
 
These are a bit Management ****-word cliches but still :

AT THE END OF THE DAY

THE COAL FACE
CORE DRIVERS
TAKE THAT OFF-LINE
GAME PLAN
SYNERGY
PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE
TOTAL QUALITY
SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

English, people. Use it.
 
Haha there's another classic OcUK cliché; thanks for providing 'G-MAN'!

Might sound like it, but my parents are thankfully in the position whereby they have provided me with plenty. I just don't impose it on others.

My pleasure. :p

I agree with you, and I'm in a similar position, however I really don't think it's worth moaning about! Everyone likes to show off every once in a while, who cares how they acquired the object in question.
 
Any use of the word Synergy by anyone in Management

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - as I work in IT support :D

"It was doing it a minute ago" - another IT gem
