"Move the needle" The current co-opted corpo phrase popular in the EG comments used by people trying to sound like they know what they're talking about, especially in regards to Mircosoft Xbox Also "corpo" Ha, I've seen Roguey use this more than a few times.

A minor one, but occasionally we have people ask us for information we hold on them. This is classed as a Data Subject Access Request, or DSAR.
Everyone then refers it as a DSAR Request.
The R already means Request! Either call it a DSAR or DSA Request.

"That's not my narrative".
"You're not paying attention to my narrative".
"The narrative is that..."
Thinking it's clever to use narrative in place of more precise words such as opinion, perspective, situation etc. It's not cool and neither are you.
My narrative is you should fuck off.

The big thing at work recently is "story telling", which basically means posting What I Dun on the internal Viva Engage page and LinkedIn.

The big thing at work recently is "story telling", which basically means posting What I Dun on the internal Viva Engage page and LinkedIn. I am new to the 'Corpo' world, and I had to sit through the company 'townhall' yesterday. I heard the word 'synergy' more than once, 'new paradigm' a few times and a completely new one for me, the 'challenge funnel.' They had a slide saying as a company we should 'hunt in packs,' on the very next slide they said we would create 'tiger teams' to achieve this. I felt like interrupting and saying tigers don't hunt in packs. Honestly, it was all over my head and I'm pretty sure most of it was bullshit. Amount of sycophants on the chat was pretty nauseating though. Maybe Cyberpunk affected me more than I thought.

I've thought about buying a challenge funnel from lovehoney at least more than once.

Not a phrase but using 'f' or 'v' instead of the correct 'th'
Currently listening to Capital Yorkshire whilst waiting to wave my youngest off on his school trip and some Essex guy (from Love Island or I'm a Celeb etc.).
I can see 'free' over 'vere'. How on earth am I going to get 'vem'.
How is this cunt allowed on radio?

I do that. I honestly didn't even know there was a difference until my late teens/early twenties.
It's that engrained I genuinely can't *hear* the difference between F, V and Th. So thought and fort sound identical to me, so that's how I've always pronounced it.
I gave a proper "th" a go but it's such an weird mouth shape to me I end up stumbling over words more than usual, so I just gave up.

If a minor speech issueia the worst thing about me I'll take that as a win.
Unfortunately I'm an absolute shit, so in the grand scheme of things it's hardly the worst thing about me.

Teaching the 'th" sounds to Koreans, who don't have a 'f' sound either, was always a challenge. Probably the most difficult spund in English from their perspective. Doesn't excuse native English speakers failing at it though..
