When the guy I sit next to attempts to descirbe a problem or a solution he will add in a "Do ya see what I'm getting at?" or "Do ya know what I mean?" or "Do ya see where I'm coming from?". I'm going to start counting the occurrences and keep a daily tally (yes, I am _that_ bored currently).

I've been away from IT departments for a while. Now I'm back, and all the managers are saying "...and all those good things".

E.g. "Pete does C#, ASP.NET, WCF and all those good things".

Who's responsible? I'm on the brink of saying it myself.

I used to work with a programme manager who loved "all those good things", it got trotted out every second or third sentence. I admit there were times I felt like nipping to the gate guards and borrowing a firearm.
