Things you'd like to say, but can't

Me ranting at article on the web:
Up-levelling? UP-LEVELLING?? UP-LEVELLING?
You are talking about 'interventions' to improve children's command of the English language and you invent a hideous word like that to describe it!
Isn't there enough jargon already in education?

''Nooooooooo don't talk about how much you miss your GF..........you'll never make it to the end credits alive!''

Onomonato...

No, onamonatopeia?

I can't even type it, let alone say it.

In my previous role, the ability to talk middle management bollox was a pre requisite. The drive to foster synergy between disperate corporate needs and develop a unified strategy delivering a common goal to the benifit of our customer base without actually comitting to any tangable deliverables is a core skill within the corporate environment.

In short a Thesaurus and bulls*** gets you a long way in many companies.

If you did not spend so much time sitting down, you would not have "This sore ar*e" that you are talking about.

Give it a rest, your jaw never stops, you are way too much in love with the sound of your own voice as well as everything else about yourself

A mentee sounds like a sea-cow. Mentor was a Greek teacher who had students. Just because the title of the person "doing" ends in "or" doesn't mean that the person being "done to" should end in "ee" . Its the difference between Greek and Latin,...you moron. Why not call him a student; or even better, a person?

So long as you are 'closing the gap' it's ok.

Dear oh lord, do you never wash?
You stank of cigarette smoke, and you never stopped eating.
Thank god it was only a pantomime, rather than something that lasts a while.
You disgusting, minging creature!

You told me on Wednesday that the Board had decided not to propose a rule change at the AGM in three months time. Now you are telling me that a rule change might still be on the cards. Well I've stood everybody down, as it happens, so who is going to break the glad tidings to them?

And another thing, I would rather resign from my temporary contract now to save myself the worry of working for someone incompetent than resign later when it all goes t*ts up due to the panic. Comprende?

You chose your job, partner and you chose to have kids, yet all you do is moan about all 3. You made the choices, deal with it.

So you want me to rely on the possibly erroneous totals, meaning I have to tap half the figures into my calculator and then try to work out why the cross-casting doesn't work, rather than simply tapping all the figures into the spreadsheet and letting that generate all the totals, meaning I can see exactly where the errors are, and have all the figures to hand for further analysis later? Why is tapping figures into a spreadsheet a waste of time, but tapping the same figures into a calculator not?

Yes, but are you going on a second date?

D'you ever play buzz-word bingo in meetings? You might need to think out of the box a bit, but as long as you are all in the same ball-park...
(I'm losing the skill! Must be a good sign )

I was presenting to a mangers' meeting once, and sensed some naughty kids type giggling as I walked in - someone actually had printed buzzword bingo cards. Rather huffily I said "you'll not get one off me".

And they didn't; not a single one I'm pleased to say.

One of the guys at the meeting had (with strong irony to be fair ) coined the term "synergy is te new paradigm" which was qite witty.

But you must've known that before you married him?!

 

[ScotiaLass]

What I wanted to say:
You really haven't a clue! Of course he will go off on one because you are goading him, in what is an already, tense, upsetting situation for him.
Grow up and try supporting him through this, instead of standing there taking the piss.

What I actually said:
Oh yes...now I remember why you're my ex.
