Meaningless jargon

Meaningless jargon

There's all kinds of annoying meaningless jargon which people in my industry use, thinking they are all saying the same thing, but if you actually listen, they all clearly have different definitions of the phrases they parrot back and forth.

But I especially hate "It is what it is."

 

[kefrm]

do you have any spare change?
Spare smoke?
spare ______________

Yes, as a matter of fact I only wanted 23 cigarettes but the pack has 25 in it so take the extra 2.

I hear you, I especially love when someone is expounding on a subject and it is obvious they have no idea what they're talking about......

When you stop tell someone a story and they start their response with, "Oh, that's nothing...".

Or when while you're telling someone a story you can tell they aren't listening, they're just waiting for you to stop so they can one up you with their story.....I used to work with a guy like that and eventually, someone named him "onebetter" because he was always trying to do one better than anyone else. It's funny just how many people never learned the art of commiseration or even feigning interest......

 

[Ryder]

"...and I was like, ....and then he was like, ......so I was like....."

That annoys the hell out of me!

 

[speedy]

Almost forgot the worst....

"Not tonight honey...I have a headache"

Everyone hates that lol

I had to think what this tread was about for a minute. those two video clips on Ifyouseekamy's and bucky88's were very captivating. Oddball's is pretty good too! (love your pic too)


Add to those.
LOL - I hate this !
As per - I used to work with a guy and that's all he'd say when he was passing down directions to the underlings from the bosses above.

"How are you?"

- Particularly when it is said as a reflexive follow-up to "Hi!" when the person obviously couldn't care less and doesn't even listen your response.

Almost as bad as when you ask someone "How are you?" and they answer in more than one sentence.

Funny how a slightly different wording like, "So, how've you been?" can be so much more meaningful.

 

[Jesus Quintana]

"Can I bum a fag?"

I always say that they should ask the fag first.

 

[Hell FirE]

What we all say when someone asks us....

What we all say when someone asks us....

I went to a motivational seminar once and this was brought up. The speaker said, for those times when you know the person asking really doesn't care and isn't really looking for a response, say to them "I died yesterday" and see what happens. If they were serious they'd say "huh what"??? but in most cases he said they wouldn't even notice. Can tell you a LOT about the person....

I had a boss once who always wanted to "touch base" with me...I said to him "you touch my base and I'll have you up on sexual harassment".....then he looked at me puzzled lol....

You better not be taking a trip by airplane because your base might get touched, and you might ejaculate then get arrested for prematurely ejaculating before an appropriate take off!

 

[HOF]

calling their son a "little man"
I don't know why but I find that really annoying.

LOL, If I had a son, I'd call him "broken condom" If I had a little daughter, I'd call her "Damn New Years Party" No, I wouldn't say those things if they were around I'm just bein' a smartass.

Boh, In all seriousness, you have it right. I could tell you stories, but that would be a digression.
