OED now accept the other use.

The section manager at the last factory I worked at, was full of shit and forever talking in office-speak.
At meetings he'd come out with such gems like "We need to touch base" and I'm amped" and a favourite of his "Run that by me again"
He was so f***ing David Brent, I struggled to keep a straight face at times. :lol:

Did you print off bullshit bingo sheets?
 
There was a thread like this a while ago for workplace phases too.

Personal hates:

- When push comes to shove
- Humming and harring
- Let's strike while the iron is hot

I see your point, never been a fan of the phrase , but at least there isnt any irony in a 'pasty faced youngun' calling red faced fat thick bastards 'gammon' . It was quite an apt phrase when I first heard it, although its became cliche. I prefer 'broth heed'. The irony is one of them calling someone a snowflake to imply that themselves are very hard and no-nonsense, whilst getting upset by tiny insignifanct things.
