    And by "favorite," of course I mean most disliked. "I'll reach out to you about ___________________." "Where are we with ______________________." "We need to have a conversation about ______________." "________________ resources ____________________." Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    I think you mean Copro-speak. Because it's all a load of management cr@p.

      "Lean development" -Yeah, some of us could lose a little weight, but to promote an idealistic body! "DevOp" -Way to make us sound like some degree of transsexuals. I'll think of more, but those got to me today.

            Had a Telco Vendor tell me today that we needed to "ping" another vendor about an issue...

              We need to circle back and get consensus on this so lets bring the discussion offline until we get buyin.

              Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                    no. and to make it worse, she didn't say it once, but at least 5 times in the same conversation. What, because I'm the IT guy you think that saying "ping somebody" makes you sound like you are using relevant terms? jeesh I felt like reaching through the phone to slap her. I ping a computer, I do NOT ping other people, I do not want to know that much info about them..... :-D

                            I love "app" actually. But I apply it to any application, which seems to irk the common folk, who seem to think it only applies to smartphones. :doh:

                              and how many sugar packets did it take till the vendor responded?

                                  I often use the word "program", as in "I have a program I wrote to do just that!" and many of the (younger) people I know say - you mean an "app"? I don't know how to answer that. If I say yes, an app. then they will expect me to show them it running on my Blackberry; if I say no, it's a program (which is what I usually say since saying it is a "application" makes it sound like a coat of paint or something more obnoxious to me) then they look at me like some kind of dinosaur!:~

                                  - Life in the fast lane is only fun if you live in a country with no speed limits. - Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most. - I vaguely remember having a good memory...

                                          And by "favorite," of course I mean most disliked. "I'll reach out to you about ___________________." "Where are we with ______________________." "We need to have a conversation about ______________." "________________ resources ____________________." Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

                                          "We need to onboard new processes in order to align to our key business initiatives to realise our objectives" I had a go and I think, roughly translated, that this means "The old way of doing it was shit, lets do something else" "We're making a strategic response to market conditions", or "You're all fired!" Personally I just like to string together buzzwords in meetings and see how many managers agree, and then ask them how we should "realise" the initiative.
