plooptionary

plooptionary - ploop’s weasel words and bullshit phrases fresh from the reeking bowels of consultants. (7 of 100)

Only day 7 (of 100) and frankly I’m sick of the plooptionary.  It’s a noose round my neck.  An oak on my shoulder.  If make it to 10 without putting the words ‘life’ and ‘coach’ into google, I’ll be amazed.  Anyway - plodding on.

Today’s hugely irritating sack of bobbins is a good old phrase much used by the older manager who left consultancy just as Major was nudging Thatcher ass, politically.

* “The whole nine yards”:  The context is a tennis school in Petworth run by Ginny D Rumble and her partner of 19 years Marion Cornish.  They’ve got the big regional under-3s competition coming up and Ginny has her sights on gold for one of her most promising boys, Bobby Scott-Hamilton.  Before the rubber with his close rival from Eastbourne, Ginny gives the 29 month old a pep talk, “Bobby, he’s going to play long and dirty - he’ll be quick to the net and has a kick-ass backhand slice.  You’ve got the groundstrokes but you’ll need to go the whole nine yards if you are going to break the little turd.  Remember eveything we’ve told you - 90% of this game is up here (and she points to her head).  Now get out there and do the village proud”
