As a champion of streamline communication I'd like to reach out to you all to showcase the benefit of cliched-jagon. Using it adds value and delivers meaningful results.

Take a moment and brainstorm how thinking out of the box can clear a path for blue sky thinking.

I'm going to hell.

Shouldn't that be "to" rather than "and'?

When did asking for a dedication on the radio for a friend or family member become a "shout out"? That really bugs me.

There are also other annoying sayings that get mindlessly parotted e.g. Its a learning curve,between a rock and a hard place, early doors ....

When a young person serves you in a shop and says 'Boss man' at the end of every sentence...

You're a middle class kid from Banstead mate.. Dont talk s***.

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Imagineer.

Whoever invented that seriously deserved a series of short sharp slaps around the back of the head until they apologised.

'when the world was hetero-orthodox' … now we are 'non-binary' thank heavens. So Zaha is the bitch's ovaries. The universe is sadly hetero-orthodox and this is bcos God's a bloke of course.
