Strange one I had was in a meeting where the PM congratulated me by saying..

Well done... looks like you've eaten 7\10ths of the elephant

Hmmmm

Not a cow-poo bingo term, I know, but......

"I hear what you're saying......but....."

I nearly caused a riot over that phrase.

My fave Gus quote has to be:

Let me pop this into your perculator and see if it comes out brown !


ewww !

I nearly forgot the worst ever: "let's ring-fence that issue". Translation: we will sweep that under the rug and hope nobody brings it up until after we've left.

I think I will win using my alltime favorite (from Gus in Drop the Dead Donkey):
"Let me park a thought in your mental multi-storey". Should go down a treat with my marketing buddies...

Or for subtlety, turn a noun into a verb and watch it go...

The Advanced version of this game is where you make a new one up (each in the group has to declare their creation) and then use it liberally. The winner is the first one to have their phrase re-used by a non-Group member.

Something like "Oxidising the paradigm".

Ideally it need to be seen in a report or email...

Two of the worst consultants I've ever worked with now speak in bs bingo terms, like 'interfacing', 'solutionising' grrrr

The female finds a new word and uses it for the next few weeks, I've set her up a few times just to see if she'll do it, 'incentivising' was her favourite, followed by 'work package' because she didn't have a clue what she meant.

Ha Ha - excellent fun!

Ask her to be careful about people 'disengaging from the project goals'

My next one is “we must take that back to the business”, usually uttered after a difficult meeting where no decisions have been made and no minutes taken. I mean, who or what is “the business”?

Loosely translated means. "This is a pointless meeting with no decision makers present. We are only here because someone told us we must attend."

HTH

[Diestl]

Yeah as I sliced off his head he said "I think you should reconsider this going forw..."

[freakydancer]

I nearly started a business with a guy who said going forward after every fecking sentence.

I trust he is now buried under your patio?
