    Corporate speak. Dives me insane.

    There was a recent reference in an E-Mail to me which requested if an issue could be resolved "COB".

    COB apparently means "Close of Business". Why not just write "Close of Business"?

    Also "In the short to medium term", "tic tac on an issue" "future proof".

    Spoofers lingo.

      Get that all the time in emails. Also get "COP" (close of play). Sickening stuff really.

        I have never come across this (yet), but that is appalling.

          "Synergies." People that say it should have a flipchart crammed up their ass. That's a powerpoint presentation I wouldn't object to.

            That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

            Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

                          Trevor Welch would ruin any game regardless if the commentary was ahead or not.
