We have a new member of staff who sits across from me. He was identified as a "business graduate" early on (by me 
) and since this time we have been ever vigilant as to "management speak". He only took two weeks to realise he should give up. Perhaps that is a recommendation for business graduates?

My boss seems to be like the one User76 mentioned as he's always doing something 'going forward'. He also only attends meetings that are 'at a very senior level' He only invites you out to lunch or dinner to 'spend some quality time with you'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok these are all from one meeting. I sat at the back scribbling them down:
We want to see the levers going on
Park that idea
Suck it and see
Set up action codes
Confirm the clarity of the context of the answer
We're playing the game
We're ahead of the game
Phased in approach
Back to the ranch
Cohort/slice (used interchangeably and liberally)
All get off the oche!
