I can't stand dickheads who say "having said that"
« 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.

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?

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.
