NJS 4389 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 "You do the Math" is my personal fave from those - even though an "s" on the end wouldn't stop it being fucking stupid. Then again one that isn't there is anyone English using "ass" instead of "arse" - deportation required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44996 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The bloke moaning about 24/7 and offering up "24 hours, 7 days a week" as the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2988 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 "It is what it is" definitely deserves its spot. More annoyingly it seems to be used in a psuedo-intellectual manner more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 When i 'onboarded' in a US company 3 or 4 years ago, i was sent to NYC to do 'a who's who in the zoo'. My boss was an Aussie lass from Newcastle down under, my business 'matrix partner' was British and they both had lived in NY for around 10 years. He would 'it is what it is' it everytime events were outside of his control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bathroom is, to some, a little bit too descriptive of the terrible events which unfold in those places. Those faint-hearted souls opt for 'rest room'.

He would 'it is what it is' it everytime events were outside of his control. My bosses fucking love this one and it makes me want to explode with rage. I hoped they'd move onto something else eventually, but it's still getting trotted out at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4389 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 When i 'onboarded' in a US company 3 or 4 years ago, I got an email from the HR for my new job earlier this week where the lass described herself as "handling your onboarding" - instant cringe.

Brock Manson 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 A good friend of mine worked with me at the veggie cafe for a year, over here from Philly. One order he put through to the kitchen was 'speckled' eggs. Turned out they wanted easy-over. Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
