Good business expressions

[Kory]

@RedSoxFaithful thinks that the expression "let's double click on this" is a popular business expression that means "let's examine this in greater detail"

what are your favorite corpo-linguistic constructions and what do they mean

 

[Milhouse]

none of them

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

i don't think it's popular, nor do i like it

but i've heard it independently (not in the form of "let's double click on this" but instead as "i wanted to double click into this") from multiple people now yes

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

i think it's also confirmed at this point based on reactions to various CT posts that my office is full of business talk sickos

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

the real answer to the OP question is "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" because it's fun to say and who doesn't like juice

Don’t let the tail wag the dog.

 

[rawarr]

rhetorically saying the word “right” in the form of a question at the end of every other sentence

Pivot (fucking loathe this one, best used as a way of telling someone who works for you that they are going to have to make significant changes to cover for something you fucked up)

edit to add: double click sounds awful which means it’s only a matter of time before that one hits my org

Yeah I’ve heard someone say this recently and it really grates on me.

Put a pin in it. Just kill me.

If I hear "not my monkeys not my circus" again I might lose it.

Haven’t heard this one

“You’re on mute”

“Your responses to this survey are anonymous.”

My favorite.

I started using this recently but in reference to my wife’s family.

This is a good one, I’ve shortened this to ‘80/20 rule’ recently

My CIO uses ‘feedback loop’ a lot and now I use it

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

Agree that "pivot" is by far the worst. Other bad ones:

circle back
baked in
talk about this offline
leverage
this is your tea party

oh I've heard this one a lot yeah

 

[ImTheCaptain]

win-win

 

[dot com]

the monkeys thing is a Polish saying that circulated facebook like 2 or 3 years ago
