[Archived] Post when a word or phrase becomes in vogue on this board

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I hate it when people say things like " drilling down into the evidence " and @#/? like that. This is from people normally who've never " drilled down " into anything in their lives. " Going forward " when they mean in the future is another one.

[Stuart]

Moaning about 'going forward' is becoming as clichéd as the expression itself.

Boots on the ground, level playing field, gaining traction, thinking outside the box, upskill, team player and many, many other absurd expressions brought over here from our western colonial outpost.

Reminded of another awful one of Radio 5 Live today - "I know where you're coming from".

What's wrong with a simple, I agree ?

i think the phrase should be "en vogue"

[adopted scouser]

Since relocating (all be it temporary) to Darwen I keep hearing 'Oining'

I think it means persuading/nagging

it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard

[Mike E]

'I have good interpersonal skills'. Ironically one the most annoying things anyone can say. Vomit-worthy.

Wouldn't expect you to from where you live. Don't be obtuse.

It more closely means "annoying" (verb). Quite widely used in the area.

I'm a darrener and have never heard it :S

Must admit that I'd never heard it until I moved to Baxenden but they all use it here. But then they have a few sayings that were new to me like "fleaing" meaning very cold.

I hate "Human Resources". So impersonal. What was wrong with "Personnel"?

Cool, man and lad have made their way into the vocab in Belfast over the recent past. Hell, I even say them myself.

Draconian just made a comeback on the board and there's still a few months before the next derby.

Geese or swans anyone? (Link please).

I have a stalker.

[Al]

I have a stalker.

You are a stalker.

[SouthAussieRover]

Oh 'deer' Al.

Surely you can do better?

[Al]

You are Stag-gering now.

[SouthAussieRover]

Really? Doe..

[Al]

Really? Doe..

Sorry but I don't get that one?

I do know it's a female deer but don't see the joke.

Thanks for the explanation.
