Can't use brain storming now I am told. It's discriminatory. They call it a thought shower now. Daft innit ;D Apparently, brainstorming is supposed to be offensive towards epileptics. Doubt they asked any actual epileptics - I'm one, and not the least bit offended by it.

“I am conscientious to the possibility we could miss our deadline if someone doesn’t take ownership of this part of the process”
Translates as
“I can see this going proper tits up and I’m washing myself of any responsibility before the shit hits the fan. You’re going down……..bitch”
(another one from personal experience)

RJ,
One of the marvellous things about modern britain is the absolute fucking plethora of people out there ready, willing and able to be offended on other people's behalf.

Indeed, VP. Not supposed to call people with mental health problems "nutters". My mate who has schizophrenia is quite happy to describe himself as a "fucking nutter". Latest example that really annoys me is that you can't refer to someone renting an Aspire property as a tenant, they're now a "customer". Everyone I know who rents off Aspire refers to themselves as..... a tenant.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Means:
"Start worrying boy, you're in big fucking trouble."

"An appraisal" Transaltes as "Im never fucking liked you so what I am going to do is save all the shit up that I have watched you do wrong for the past four weeks and bring it up in one vile half an hour of shit, sweat and tears in the office and then expect you to carry on the rest of your day all happy and rosy"
