So!
Has anyone else noticed the new predominantly middle class habit of starting a sentence with the word so?
It appears to be very fashionable, although completely redundant.

Re: So!
Yes, along with the use of "you know" many times during interviews. Either I already or know or I would like you to get on with what you are saying so that we both know.
Also, what about the use of "look" to start an answer to a question? I'm not looking, I'm listening, get on with it!
I'm off for a decaff tea and lie down.......

Re: So!
"Jha no wot!" at the beginning of spoken sentences used more and more. (extremely annoying)
Also still used by some 'management consultants' and in some so called high profile company 'staff training' courses
(as if you have never heard these idiotic and annoying sayings ever before)

Right sizing

Client engagement
Give me a heads up
Dedication to synergy ????

Re: So!
You obviously haven't cottoned onsimmitc wrote:Interesting to bring class into the conversation. If one wishes to start stereotyping, then surely those from the North East would have to use "sew" to help them stitch a few words together.
A good many of us northern folk can actually talk proper these dayz.

There's no "I" in team
All terms thought up by halfwits - albeit WELL paid halfwits - who have nothing else better to do to justify their pointless jobs.
Anyone located the "Northern Powerhouse"?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

My bad.
At the end of the day.
I think I passed the northern powerhouse, 10 miles north of Watford gap, just off the A1, smaller than I'd imagined, just looked like a big transformer surrounded by a fence.

Re: So!
We have a southern sales manager who routinely, at sales meetings says things like.......
"I'm just gunna keep my powder dry on this one and wait it out" this, when he has a competitor after his business
And of course, he speaks of the bigger picture whilst going for sustained growth, month on month......but never actually delivers .
It's priceless and our Sales Director laps it up
