    "to be honest"
    "know what I mean?"
    "you get me?"
    and the worst of the lot, "you know"

      I once worked for a woman who would often end her statements with "am I right or am I right?". She was usually neither.

        Proactive

        What was so wrong with active that it needed a pro?

          1. "It's all good" (translation: we're up sh1t creek)
          2. "We need to take a view on that" (translation: we haven't got a chuffing clue about that issue)
          3. "We need to take that back to the business (translation: as 2.)
          4. "We need to get more sticky with our customers" (translation: we're haemorraging revenue, don't know how to stop it, but frequent use of this buzz-phrase will keep me in my job for another 3 months)
          5. "Your business model is all wrong" (translation: we don't like/understand what you've presented, but if we describe it as a 'model' you might go away and do another wasted month of rework while we get a breather)
          6. "That's a good challenge, but..." (translation: don't pester us with rational argument)

          All uttered by permies (feck'n permies...)
          "My God, it's huge!!"

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                It doesn't suggest taking the initiative.

                  Hazel Beers.

                  It's simply not funny and she's minging ging with a spooky Stepford Wive's media-trained smile that only nuliebour bots seem to get.

                  and as for merchandising with her campaign for deputy leadership with beer mats, baseball caps, cups, buttons, hoodies, clocks (FFS!)

                  Good on the Lib Dem activists who are handing out T-shirts nearby saying:

                  "I'm a minger"
                  If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
