"due to today's inclement weather..."

Nothing wrong with the phrase as such, but the way it's used to cover anything from a few drops of rain or flakes of snow being used as an excuse for a train delay or an excuse for telling off passengers, right through to snowmageddon, when they may as well admit the line's knackered

It might have been covered before, but "Why is that even a thing?" does my head in. I saw a link to a FB post the other day, along the lines of "kids getting shot for just going to school - why is that even a thing?"

I was torn between trying to decide if she had posed one of the great philosophical questions of our age, or was simply a brain-dead like-chasing prat.

I’ve nothing against the phrase, but probably more apt for describing frivolous nonsense, like bizarre food combinations or Crocs rather than a school shooting.

From todays shitefest, sorry work meeting.

Bit ticket item, easy win, tick boxing and forward planning. Just as well im not American, Id be right off to Walmart for an assault weapon.

Heard these often in the last few years sadly. Some of these are so routine now I barely blink an eyelid.

BTW, is it not "big" ticket item ?

How about another one - "let's make sure we're all on the same flight path" ? :banghead:

Yes it’s big ticket item. Along with  ‘ big ticket player’ .

Usually said by someone who is not.

"Do you have any plans for St Patrick's Day"

Well considering I'm not a fucking Irishman and the fact it's a Sunday and I'll be up at 4 next morning I'll be spending it doing exactly the same as I do every other working night of the year. Fuck All

Yep, its meant to be big ticket item, sad times that I cant spell a three letter word.

Can I add, buying into the company ethos, team management and synergy.

Just fuck off and pay my salary, thats all I care about ya pricks.
