(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
First and Foremost
(1). A way to signal to everyone in the meeting that this is the only agenda item you want to talk about and that all of the other stuff is meaningless to you.
“Okay, team, well, first and foremost, I want to address 2012 compensation. I understand many of you may have booked vacations for after the New Year…well, you might want to rethink those plans for now…”
Props to Jerry G. for the submission.
Does That Make Sense?
(1). An oft-repeated question asked at meetings by someone who thinks everyone else in the room are a bunch of mouth-breathing imbeciles who can’t understand the painfully obvious point he is trying to make.
“So, the idea is to cut costs by upgrading our OS from Windows 3.1 to Windows 8…does that make sense? Okay, fine…we’ll convert to Mac…”
Props to Bill E. for the submission.
