Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry

[Graham]

To be honest, at the end of the day you are literally, like, totally awesome. Seriously. It's like totally unique, if you know what I mean. Epic. Just sayin'.

I like the old traditional English terminology. The stuff that irritates me is the new American crap.

 

Issues we dont have sometimes we have problems.

 

Game of two halves

 

Float it at the next meeting

 

Level playing fields

Over-extended laterals... If the lateral is extended, it doesn't need the "over" in front.

 

All laterals are extended, or they would just be a twig, there is an ideal length to thickness ratio for laterals, if they exceed this in length, but not girth, they are over-extended, IMO.

Can't stand the constant use of awesome

Was working with a bloke a while ago that kept saying true dat instead of yes, had to tell him to stop.

To be perfectly honest (prior to this I was lying).

[skyhuck]

"End of" I hate this, if I read a well reasoned argument that make a valid point BUT ends with in "end of", I simple delete the whole thing from my mind.

 

How can any one be so arrogant that they think they have covered every possible point in any discussion and the discussion is now over???????? NOBS!!!!!

[pro bros]

The most annoying in use is the word ( so) as the start of an answer to a question ie. So what we have is blah blah!!!!

[the village idiot]

I am glad that these terms are still there.

Much more comforting to hear than terms such as "going forward" for example.

Way too much modern crap in our daily language for my liking. (I am aware that "way" is often over used)

 

Absolutely! (sorry Dean)

The "going forward" expression is my pet hate, and has a lot to answer for in my humble opinion. Nothing wrong with a bit of staying in the same place from time to time. I would go so far as to say that with a lot of things in the modern world, a concerted effort to "go backwards" might not always be a bad idea.
