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.

only passed third grade in school i take it...'having said that' is not an intellectual phrase, its a pretty bog standard term used in every day speech.

That said, *The RedMeatKid* appears to be a serious douchebag.

"douchbag"? That's your mother...I took her for a drink and she ordered vinegar and water.

"bog"? Perhaps you shouldn't be commenting on lingusitics.

How about "it is what it is"? Time to shelf that one too.

I'm a 'that being said' guy, and I'm damn fucking good at it.
So pipe down.

"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.

You're right. BTW is your dad still working as a tranny prostitute to pay the mortgage?

I hate it when people say "You know what I mean" in every sentance

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.
-

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!
-
albeit, that being said, for better or for worse, is used much to little. Lest thy language be stagnant.
-
I dislike children who ride their scooters down the middle of the road and then give you the shit eye. At age 12, it's way too old to be cute or endearing anymore. I should have run his overconfident little ass over. Amidoinitrite?
albeit
DON'T DO IT.
-
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.

C'mon, just say it.

Don't you hate lazy losers who can't type out "by the way"...

That being said I know what you mean.

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.

Perhaps you should learn more about the vocabulary in the country that invented English.

It aggravates me to no end man. These clowns waste so much time talking BS. I'm sure you've been in there when they get into a "heated debate/exchange" on some sh*t? It's a freaking power trip with power words to see who owned who....complete BULLSHIT!. Then they brag about it late "see how I challenged him?" "see how he tried to turn me but I took control?" BULL...lol
I could axe kick them all in their left shoulder. Bunch of leg crossing chumps. P.S. I'm the "I could careless" I.T. Director BTW. lol

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

sad fact is you need to life with them and since you made it to Director (vs myself as in middle managment) I say you are a hell lot better in dealing with them then I am :D

Going down the tubes
I heard that
Now they tell you to get on the airplane.... (high voice) Get on the airplane get on the airplane - I say FUCK YOU I'm getting IN the airplane in the airplane - let evil kenival get on the airplane.
What did we do wrong in Vietnam? We "pulled out" - not a very manly thing to do.

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.

your looking too deeply into it. Back away some. I'm fairly simple. Had I been controlled with words I'd no doubt judo toss all the execs here through the wall.

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.

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..

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.

Hate when someone aged less than 25 says "back in the day". ::)
What, like when you were ten? ???
-
Theoretically, blah, blah, blah....oh dear god!
-
"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. ;)

Too late, fucker, so how about you make this long story relevant.

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.

this one is useful

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

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.
-
How about "anyway" after someone has just finished speaking? Classy...
-
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?
