Business speak

At the office where I pass the time betwixt 9 and 5.30 I hear loads of amusing business speak. Today I have already heard:

a) a colleague speaking on the phone saying, "Let's lay down some chat"
b) some other colleagues going to a meeting, one suggested he would fetch some coffees from Starbucks and an american got all excitable and suggested that they all go and they could do a "walk and talk"

So orgers as an expereiment - listen out to your colleagues then post up amusing business speak!

errr, dont think it will work here, last thing i hear people talking about was whether we had any tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium for a Heck reaction.

The salesman who sits behind me says "I was going to say" and "as you say" before almost every sentence that comes out of his mouth when speaking to customers - not strictly just business speak but blooming annoying!!

"Touching base". Makes me want to stab people.

I have to use it sometimes to get people to take me seriously at work - it seems if you're not spouting the garbage everyone assumes you don't know what you're talking about .

Apparently we have a lot of silo's in the building that need to be broken open, whatever that means. We hear it at every dept. meeting.

This thread is "not on my RADAR", although I could be testiculating.

Can we park that for the moment please...
