My most hated business term at present:
"Out of pocket"
This horrible phrase infests the legal industry, and is used when someone is unavailable for a meeting or on travel or whatever.
JUST SAY OUT OF OFFICE
WHO'S IN A POCKET HERE, THAT MAKES NO SENSE
@brook Maybe every lawyer is secretly a funk or jazz bass player, and they just love playing in the pocket
@fobo I choose to believe someone invented that to troll idiots
@fobo Next up on the pocket docket: Polly Pocket vs Rocket Coroquette. Pocket alleges Rocket misappropriated their locket socket mockup to produce unauthorized coroquette jockey socket.
@fobo just start using other terms with ‘pocket’
“That case is gonna be a total pocket rocket”
“He dropped a Hot Pocket on the judge”
“Sink the evidence in the corner pocket”
Dang now I have written the word ‘pocket’ enough times that it looks really
weird to me
