Phrases/terms that need to be retired immediately (1 Viewer)

:lmao: Had to look up "Thander".  Godforbid someone name their kid after a WOW character, but it's likely happening.  

Kid's coming out of the womb with a 3rd chin, neckbeard and fedora.  


3 years old and already about that deek life? 

add to the retired phrases: "about that" and "______ life" and especially when they are combined. Hopefully someone posted these awhile ago because it's been old for a long time. 
He's almost 4. I set him up a microbrewery under his loft bunk. He cut the crotchal stuffing out of all his pandas and is making an Endangered Oyster Stout as we speak.

ETA: deek, cha!

So basically what used to be referred to as a.. Man's man?
I guess, but I think there are some positive connotations of being a man's man, right? I picture a man's man changing his own oil, enjoying fishing, etc. Think Ron Swanson. Probably only drinks brown liquor or lawnmower beer. A brah can barely pump his own gas, doesn't get on a boat unless it's shirtless with a beer bong.

What used to be called a "Poser"?

 
Heard one that immediately made me cringe and think of this thread.

"Oar in the Water"  - Guy was talking about getting his wife back into tennis.  I almost LOL'd

 
"Socialize" - as in "we just socialized the information among the teams today"

Apparently it simply means "shared". I heard it twice today on separate conference calls. First time I've ever heard the term.

Corporate America is so pretentious.

:thumbup:   I hear this a lot now.  "Why don't you socialize that proposal internally."

I can't wait to hear this at work so I can say "huh?"

For the most part I've gotten people to stop using "ask" as a noun around me.

That's a big ask, shuke. 

I've got you down for 5 action items. Can you circle back with me next week?  Send me three calendar invites with me as optional. I'll accept two and possibly show up for one. Send me the call in number as I'll probably be out of pocket for most of the week. If you could also document appropriate KPI's from our last ideation session, I'll make sure we get buy in from the China team.

Consider yourself lucky.  I've heard it for the last 5 years and it grates on me every time....

I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday.

 
Alt.

Right left or otherwise. Enough. 
Agree. Call it like it is: Fascists, communists, racists, anarchists, etc. Funny too because the self described "alternative right" are probably also out there denouncing "liberal PC culture". Alt-right is an extremely PC description. 

 
millenials are using it as a synonym for "designing" in regard to websites, software, etc.   
I guess that makes sense, given that the job title has been co-opted by software people already. linked-in still keeps trying to get me to be a system's architect or whatever... appear to be lots of those kind of jobs, and they appear to pay a lot better too. stoopid architecties.

 
"ya think?"  = a useless, lazy phrase uttered by dumb people with nothing to contribute.
:bag:
ok... when my 9yo was still a baby- after a loooong night- I had him one day when I had a big deadline (home-office). kid wouldn't nap and was being an all-around #######. took him out for a third walk in the stroller hoping the usual walk would work (third time's the charm)... but the little ####er wouldn't go to sleep- crying like a baby. I reached a point where I was so pissed/frazzled I put the top down and let him get a bit of direct sun in the eyes... maybe blind him a little to... dunno. show him who's boss. crying. I'm heading home (downtown NYC) on the sidewalk by a gourmet market that neighbored a methadone clinic... older junkies went there and one of them kindly suggested that the baby was crying because the sun was in his eyes. I stopped the stroller, turned my head slowly to her and said... ya think. and then pushed on, amidst a volley of curses that blissfully drowned out the little ####er crying.

that's the guy who says "ya think".

 
Just got an email asking if I was the person in charge of "data hygiene".

GTFO
I am a data architect. I work with our data developers, data scientists, data curators and chief data officer so that the data cleansing and data hygiene processes properly populate our data warehouses, data stores, data marts and data lakes, allowing for meaningful data visualizations.

my MIL has boiled "isn't it" down to "ain't it" but when stated sounds like "ain-uh?"

most of her word salad is decipherable but sometimes she devolves in to combining words into.... sounds that have taken time to work out.

i could do without "ain-uh"
