I’d love to hear KMDs list from her night job.
“ramp up”
“We decided to go with a strategy with higher active share.”
That one might be very specific to me.
“We are looking for twice the impact, using one quarter the resources. I’m confident your team can do it.”
Gravedigging this so I can list what I almost barfed at hearing today…“unpack,” as in “unpacking an idea.” Jesus, people, stop saying that…can’t we just expand ideas like we used to do in 2014…
Or even expound them, which we’ve been doing for centuries.
Is “unpacking an idea” any worse than “gravedigging a thread”?
Just curious.
Come on KMD. There has to be some colorful terminology in your profession. Why you holding back?
You know, this might be a first for you, Greenie, but you have a point there.
I’ve been trying to think of some, but honestly I can’t. Thats the thing with non establishment lines of work. There is none of that cheesy banter between colleagues. We tend to be candid and thick as thieves 
Safety oriented culture (when a company can just deem their culture saftey oriented, despite all evidence to the contrary).
“You know, we’re not looking for home runs, just to consistently hit singles and doubles…”
It’s like, trust me buddy, I’ve seen that garbage, benchmark-less-fees track record of yours and I KNOW you aren’t hitting home runs…
“Great quarter guys (you somehow managed to stay solvent) can you give some additional color on…”
“Kindly ask you to fill additional data in file attached…”
^?
^!
^ Come on Igor, stop giving the kid a hard time. Someone has to fill out my RFIs and this is the language you come across in that line of work.
The kid…lovely, maybe I may be your uncle at least.
Guys, you’re the dorks here, didn’t you know that? With some rare exceptions…,
Dude, relax…it’s called busting balls. I bet you’re no fun at parties.
