(1). The same as saying “Let’s make sure we’re on the same page” but way cheesier.
“Can you explain that again to make sure I understand the ask?” Ugggghh.
Props to Amy J. for the submission!
Understand the Ask
RANDOM LINGO
Blamestorm
(1). A situation in which a group of co-workers meet to decide who will take the fall for a major screw-up for which nobody wants to accept responsibility.
“Okay, team…we, don’t want to create a blamestorm here, but I think we all know Tom was the one that forgot to send out the presentation…am I right?”
Props to Mary D. for the submission.
Pocketbook Issue
(1). A misogynistic term that political candidates use when addressing “women’s issues” in an attempt to appear as if they could care less about whatever “women’s issues” are.
“Look, let me be clear…I understand you’re frustrated with the cost of groceries…I do. It’s a real pocketbook issue and I want you to know that I hear you. I also want to take a moment to address the death of soap operas…I’m sorry, do you all still watch soap operas?”
