I like to try and speak without using filler. You have to work at it, but it's quite exhilerating to be able to reply to someone instantly without a word wasted, merely a second later or so. -

Registered 20 years agoI read somewhere that politicians work on a delaying noise to give themselves thinking time - which is why so many of them start their 'answers' with...
"Uuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I think you'll find..."
"The thing is... the thing... the thing is, you see, the thing..." -

Basically/effectively/ultimately/at-the-end-of-the-day or any such cliché that doesn't alter the meaning of what is beeing said at all if it's removed.
Think faster ffs. I've got places to be. -

Registered 15 years agoWhat about things people say that you immediately like them for?
If I am talking to someone and they casually drop in a peep show or Aliens quote for example, I know they are my sort of person.
Strangely, Simpsons quotes have the opposite effect, particularly if you know the person saying it does not even watch the Simpsons.

Doesn't have much luck with it, it has to be said. -

Registered 14 years agoI find that using facebook has brought up some words 'phrases' that litterally make me want to commit suicide every single damn day that i see them on someone's status update.
'let's get messy!' il make a mess of your fucking brains on the front of your god damn monitor (mainly girls that use this one)
and the even more iritating one
'who's getting on it?/let's get on it!'
Get on fucking WHAT? Your not getting on anything you inbred fuck(mainly retards use this one) -

A favourite phrase amongst my colleagues is 'forward planning'.
As opposed to backwards planning, I suppose. -

While we're on the subject of office speak,
'Redcrayon, can you action this?'
Aaargh, no, I can 'do' it, but there's no bloody way I'm 'actioning' anything. -
"we need to develop the communications strategy"
/rolls eyes.
Forward planning is awesome. I get funny looks when I respond to its use by saying that it is the best kind of planning in a sarcastic tone. -
Any kind of military speak in an office environment also makes me cringe-
'rally the troops' for calling a meeting.
'manouever through the minefield' for dealing with media coverage.
etc.
