I understand your comment Howard. Many of the expressions being discussed are right out of corporate America.

We use many of the same expressions here in Canada so they are for the most part fairly commonplace.

Some of them are used here, too..... I just can't stand all that 'wanklingo!!'. I hate "at the end of the day"... I cringe everytime it's used. It's like "yeah no" - drives me ratty!

Maybe that explains a few things....... Image

It was a great Kinks song, though...

Oh, wait...that was "TILL the end of the day."

"Yeah, I get up
And I see the sun up
And I feel good, yeah
'Cause my life has begun
You and me were free
We do as we please, yeah
From morning, till the end of the day
Till the end of the day "

Could not resist. Weird lyrics don't you think or is it just me?

Brian, those were lyrics from a time gone by, and not weird at all.

Sheena, those were just the "A"s.
