Business Speak Bullsh!t Bingo begins...

[MrRobin]

I want to take you out of your comfort zone and for you to work on this funky new project.

Translation: I know you are here with specific skills to work on x but I want you to now work on y which is incredibly dull and nothing to do with you and your skills but no one else will do it.

"Thought I would give you a heads up on the situation"

also not too keen on

"We have an all hands meeting"

[KathyWoolfe]

"can we have some blue-sky thinking here please" meaning I want all the wild ideas you can come up with, no matter how ridiculous. Often when you say the first thing that comes into your head the answer is "let's not get off-topic here".

[chef]

we even have a server here called "synergy" !!!

"touch base"
"take it offline"

both used daily here..

Maybe we could brown bag this meeting for tomorrow lunchtime.

Deciphered: Today's meeting is overrunning. It's too much like hard work for me to oraganize a meeting room, now. So, instead, I want us all to meet in the canteen tomorrow at lunchtime, where we'll have our lunch and continue the meeting. 5 points to any CUK member who realized immediately that this was an American talking.

Ah how times have changed. Brown bagging meant something completely different when I was a student...

My project manager often says in her team progress meetings "let's take this offline and we can discuss out of the meeting"

Wonderful example of using a buzzword, and explaining what you mean all in one sentence!

Did you study near Hampstead Heath then Rupert?

[DBA_bloke]

Cover off. As in "OK, guys, I think we need to get someone to cover off the networking issue."

Translation: Cover off = fix

I thought it meant that the meeting was getting to ugly to look in the face

Obviously has an alternative meaning for you as well then Shawn.
