TQR 14,480 Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Sir Creep said: Car journalists are only using the lexicon the OEMs are using. My Volvo refers to the sound system as the infotainment module. They'd do well to ignore the manufacturers. I thought my Jaguar had 'headlights'. No, actually; it has 'Signature Matrix', according to the car's menus. It's all just a load of pretentious piffle. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So pretentious that to replace my infotainment module is just south of $2000 U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,262 Posted Monday at 11:10 I just heard some business twat use the word "confidicing" or it might have been "confidencing" as in whether a business has confidence in investing in the UK. Utter, utter bollocks. Management-speak piffle. And if I hear "oftentimes" once more this festive season, my telly may not survive a slipper attack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,248 Posted Monday at 13:02 I really don't like the expansion of "grab" to mean have, get or obtain. "Let's grab a coffee" Such a rude, pushy expression. In the words of Depeche Mode The grabbing hands grab all they can All for themselves, after all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,808 Posted Monday at 16:39 I might have said this already but ‘onboarding’ - FUCK OFF. We recently had a new member of staff that I was instructed to ‘onboard’. No, I fucking won’t. I will show her where the bogs are and how to order stationery. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
