Share your favorite business jargon

Just to caveat off that, it'd behoove of you to get your dick skinners out of your pockets

My eye twitches everytime someone says behoove or caveat off that.

I too used to sit in on a lot of meetings, I was a Risk Management consultant for large scale IT projects; I made this up at one point for teleconferences;

Tomorrow is my big call day and I'm so stealing this!

I have always been fond of telling some of my lazier coworkers I wish someone would "Promote them to customer"

I have the distinct pleasure (not) to sit in a lot of meetings and have started to keep a list of the various cringe-worthy jargon I hear.

Here are a few current favorites to start us out.

“Pull on that string for me” - my old boss used to say this when someone would make a statement and he was looking for more detail/context.

“I’m not going to drain this slide” - when a presenter has a slide they’re presenting that usually is an “eye chart” with way too much content meaning they’re not going to discuss every detail on the slide.

My favorite line to use on customers when I used to be in sales:
"Sir, are you gonna let your wife make all the decisions?"

My company makes food for a living and someone just referenced following a glide path. Jeez.

Not jargon, per se, but this video is WAY too accurate when it comes to corporate meetings.

“Cmonnn Craig” from the movie Friday. My old country ass oilfield co-workers would say this anytime someone messed up lol.

My hispanic co-workers often said “a la verga!” when shit popped off on site ?. It means “Oh F**k” or in other words, RUN! Lol.
