Feck off = I dont agree with you.
Feck right off = I dont agree with you and will do it my way, so stop bothering me.

Interesting thread. Lets run some replies up the flagpole.

I'd rather we kicked the can down the road

The 10 most annoying buzzwords:

Give 110%: To go above and beyond
Blue sky thinking: Brainstorming without worrying about limits
Low hanging fruit: The easiest work
Synergise: Work together
Outside the box: Coming up with fresh ideas
Square the circle: Complete a task that seems impossible
Ecosystem: Used to describe a working culture
Atomise: To break something down into smaller pieces
Bleeding edge: A new technology or technique that has some risk
A lot of moving parts: A lot of things to manage

Low hanging Fruit....hear that all day at work...
The one that always pisses me off....."Lets take this offline". Surprised its not on the top 10

"Oh look, someone's gone to all that trouble setting up a nice network for us to steal - sorry, borrow."
Don't worry, MF set it up, but I'll fix it on time-and-a-half before you can say "Christ, I didn't realise it would be this bad"...

And you haven't lost your touch!!

Have we done "going forward"?

"At this moment in time" is irritating and pompous, although perhaps not what one would think of as faux-trendy management speak.

Oh and idiots who start sentences with "So .." for no apparent reason. It's happening more and more these days!

After a particularly crap meeting I told client I was off to "crack one off".

They didnt know that one.

So, I've noticed this too.

It is what it is (translation - I am a feckwit!)

I normally say 'it is what it shouldn't be and its our job to fix it!'
