Title: I can't stand dickheads who say "having said that"
Post by: The RedMeatKid on November 01, 2010, 08:27:00 AM
When will losers stop saying "having said that"?  These punks on getbig continue to use the phrase because they feel it makes them sound intellectual.  Sound like a bunch of assholes.

"Having said that" when used in moderation, is perfectly fine. Statistics have shown that 98% of all douchebags are offended by the phrase "having said that". Having said that, welcome to the ranks of tallgerman for creating useless threads.

tell me about it. Just had our "annual company meeting" the term "having said that" along with "that being said" was used x100.

Plus we got this ceo who over articulates everything and TRIES to sound intelligent(nobody even listens to him b/c he's such a train wreck). Instead of saying "AT ALL"...he says "uh TALL". Very annoying and I want to round kick him in his midsection for it....and yes he's an a$$hole along with the other execs I work with.

I guess you're not working in an office as in Management - I tell you I had to litteraly hold myself back in some meetings not to fucking strangle some people.

Here are some of the best things I have heard over the years:

1) Soaking up the business
2) Blue skying
3) Silver bullet
4) Heavy lifting
5) Managing people out of the company ::)
6) Reasonable best effort
7) People not living up to their expectations

The dangerous thins is (as least if you have people reporting to you) that you easily fall into the trap of using these words as well, its always the same some people like to seperate themself from others by using words they think the other person has never heard before thus making themself more important or sounding smarter.

Its all bullshit - if you have technicians reporting to you make a note to use their language when you talk to them, don't use managment terms to hide certain aspects of the business - call it as it is - managing somebody out of the company would be one - its finding ways to getting somebody fired.

You know the 80/20 rule? Applies to anything in life - Only 20% of your meetings will be productive and see real benefit in regards of decission making - 80% is for people that need to justify their
positions or bullshit.

Thanks for the advice. I'm familiar with 80/20 but never applied it in that department. Makes complete sense the way you put it. Man..sometimes I feel like I just want to do my JOB but they won't let me. That whole "well you are not the owner" vs "do I really want to own my own business" conversation creeps in my head.

This can be disheartening for me at times especially when I can see things MONTHS before they happen, they fall on deaf ears then guess what...exactly what I forecast happens.....and this is all the time. Then I have the old "I make good pay here" vs "I'll always make good pay b/c I know what the hell i'm doing" creep in my head.

I can't stand politics either as you probably already can see. LOL

Are you trying to say, that someone controlled you with words? As the saying goes, "Words are like bullets, you can't take them back", so do like Jay-Z, when they throw 2 you throw 4 back...spray the mofos...

I once saw this book in the library, I read a little of of it, it was called something like "Verbal Jiu Jitsu" or something like that. Showing how to arrange your sentence structure in speech and in writing to get te desired result, without the other person knowing or without offending that person. It also showed how to get info from that person by asking a question in a way (non direct?) that you got more info from that person than you would have gotten, with a direct question.

I hate it when people say "literally" when it was nothing of the sort.  "The day literally flew by."  "I literally had to hold myself back."  "There was literally nothing I could do."  Shut the fuck up.
Don't forget.......... they "rushed" them to the hospital.


 ;D

No shit.  Every time someone had to go to the emergency room (probably for a sore throat), "they rushed me to the emergency room".  Tools.

What, like when you were ten?  ???

"I'm all..." "I'm like..." or the equally mind numbing, "brotha".  The first two when said in person are like nails on a chalkboard and the third one especially so when it's spelled out in a forum such as this one.  All three are from that vast canvass known as the uneducated and (more often and far, far, worse) terminally faux hip.

Man, I can't believe I just spelled that ignorant word on a forum like this. ;)

Or "that being said".Oh brother!
both this phrase and the one this thread is about ("having said that") are both good communication techniques/proper ways to transition from one bit of information to the next.

 Nope. It's fluffy wording for psuedo-intellectual dickheads. I could be omitted or replaced with a one-word transition.

 It's best to speak in simple, short words. It's all about the substance of what you say. Not how flowery and fluffy you can make the words.

or ' not to mention......' then they mention it.
this one is useful


i really hate it when people dont know what to say so they say "it is what it is"....i have fired people for using that line instead of giving me a answer..

bench
that phrase has a proper time and place and in the proper situation it can be very insightful

"I'm all..." "I'm like..." or the equally mind numbing, "brotha".  The first two when said in person are like nails on a chalkboard and the third one especially so when it's spelled out in a forum such as this one.  All three are from that vast canvass known as the uneducated and (more often and far, far, worse) terminally faux hip.

Man, I can't believe I just spelled that ignorant word on a forum like this. ;)
i use all three  ;)

It's  "know what I'm sayin'"

Starting a sentence with LOOK (or listen)  ::)  you hear it all the time on television and in the movies, but never in real life.
use both of those  ;D

How about - I heard that!! or people that say As soon as possible as ASAP!!! - like they are calling in an emergency firemission...

Hammerhead, Hammerhead. Recon Cobra.
Emergency fire mission. Over.
Gooks in the bush.
Request firecracker salvo. Will adjust - ASAP ASAP ::)


i use both

"At the end of the day, you know what I'm saying? Your point is moot, and having said that, I hope this helps."
use all of those  :D


"Basically".....I fucking hate that.
"Na-mean"...aka... "Do you know what I mean"
"Personally" then they continue with that they were going to say.

Agreed 100%...also, howbout when someone has to add "To tell you the truth", blah blah or "I'll be honest with you", blah blah....oh brother!

these two






so i guess yall hate me ?  ;D

What's the big deal? Words and phrases are there to be used.

 It's just annoying when someone tries to be Hemmingway and get all fruity with their language.

 You're in college. I'm sure you've met tons of guys like this who think they are hot shit. I know I did.

Hemmingway isn't a particuarly wordy author, if anything, he is the opposite.

I honestly think if words are there they should and/or can be used. Sometimes it is more appropriate to speak one way than another. It's what we call register.

You can add "at the end of the day" to the list.

People who finish sentences with "so ..." and trail off.

So fucking WHAT? You just finished your thought, where you heading with "so"? I have to assume?
