My most hated phrase is when a collegue throws up alternative view points then tells me 'I'm just playing Devil's advocate'. This happens a lot in my office and bugs me like crazzzy! The help is useful, that annoying term is not!

When someone says, 'I'm just giving you a head's up'. Why can't they just say 'I'm just letting you know'. And I agree with all the people who have said 'blue sky thinking', 'thinking outside the box' etc.

Think outside the box but I do agree that your suggestions would be quite annoying in the office

"Sourcing" parts, Most people buy them from a supplier.
"Generic", What does that mean then?
"Blue sky thinking" How ridicules does that sound?
" Are you on board with this?" Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggg!!!!!

When my boss says to me "we have situation lets go have a brain dump"
Why doesn't he just say I've balls something up and I need you to find a way of blaming someone else!

The next time someone mentions a "window of opportunity" tell them to jump out of it!
