DoonTheSlope Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Let's take this "offline" Usually used by people in management positions at staff meetings when they are clamped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jockodile Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 reading this thread is one of the plus points if the board does close, as I think I use loads of these phrases and think nothing of it. Maybe I've become immune to it. Time is money and people just need labels to shortcut things in corporate life so if everyone knows what 'offline' means it works rather than a long drawn out "can you and you please set up time to discuss this issue between yourselves and find out more details, then come back to you with options" maybe even time is money is a wanky phrase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is incredibly frustrating/boring when a meeting gets bogged down by a discussion between 2 people that could be taken "offline" rather than boring everyone else to tears....

In laymans terms "let's take this offline" means "You're right, but I don't want you to continue this now as you're making me look like a right <unt in front of my staff" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it could be used to avoid getting sidetracked by trivial or irrelevant dross aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take long to say "you two, shut the fuk up and lets get back to what we are supposed to be discussing". Too much namby-pamby fannying aboot these days.

Often enough that I thought it had some mildly sinister republican connotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
