Latest phrase in the playground?

[Doggy Styles]

Rather than just beating your opponents, nowadays you set out to own them.

I think own is used for any achievement now. Own the podium, own that code you've finally got through UAT, etc.

Although perhaps that last one should be owning the testers. I'm not sure.

Also "You'll ave to tek us round the back as i'm eating me chips at the mo"

personal experience? Mitch can you advise?

We seem to be "reaching out" to anyone and everyone these days. I'm wondering whether I can steer this more to "reaching around".

We don't seem to be "reverting" so much and "doing the needfull" has almost vanished. Haven't heard talk of "synergies" for a couple of years. somebody "socialised" something the other day to raised eyebrows and knowing chuckles.

I haven't heard that one yet. #

Rest assured that when I do hear it I will imitate the action of the tiger;

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height.

In other words, whoever says it will be made aware of my disapproval.

Wouldn't it just be easier to say, "Sorry, mate, you're talking bollox"?

If you're in Britain you'll need a very long arm to reach out to me.
