Work Terms

Yesterday I was in an all day training and was zoning out. That was until the speaker said something that just jumbled my head.
What are some 'low hanging fruit' on this problem?
Low Hanging Fruit? When I think about that a few things cross my mind. In my mind I am picturing a dude scrambling up a banana tree to chop down a bunch and then I have the not so innocent picture of some dudes 'low hanging fruits'. I know, I know, I'm horrible. But seriously, if I didn't work in the corporate white collar world I wouldn't know all this 'corporate language'.

White collar corporations somehow have changed the english language to a metaphorical barrage of senseless banter. What I think is so funny about it is that when people say these things, they say it in a way that speaking that way makes them .....cool. Kinda like wearing the 'in' clothes. Maybe I am just not into the whole 'I wanna be cool' thing but I see it as people trying to still be the most popular kid in the class. They strive for attention even at our age.

I could go on and on about how much the corporate world I work in resembles high school but I digress. Below you will find the crazy talk I'm talking about.

LET'S GET OUR ARMS AROUND THIS.
ARE WE ON THE SAME PAGE.
WHAT ARE SOME LOW HANGING FRUIT ON THIS?
LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
IS IT COOL? IT'S COOL.
Ummm ....Yeah, WHAT IS THE ETA ON THAT?
THIS IS AN FYI TO CYA ON THE HOT ONE.
