      Another backhanded “positive action” comment is “I’m going to give that the attention it deserves” and nine times out of ten it will be absolute fucking rot so no, that’s going to the bottom of the list. Cheers though.

        I use it a lot.

        It’s corporate speak for please shut up and listen to me because you’re conjuring bullshit straight out of your ass.

        Example

        customer: I don’t want to do x thing for y reason because it could cause issue a issue b issue c etc

        Me: with all due respect sir, I believe you may be conflating possible issue z with issue x. Fortunately we do not have to worry about issue x because of reason. Furthermore, even if issue x happened, this would be the result of that failure and it would create issue d or issue e or even issue f but not issue a or b or c.
