"_____,... my *****." "Big up to _____" "Bugger" "Wagwan, bredren?" "Cheers" "______ is on the baize to pot the brown" (slang: ______ has gone into the washroom to take a sh*t) "Scheisse!" My co-worker is from Leicester.
"Ridiculous!" - my workplace is very much a no-swearing environment, so this gets used instead. One guy overused the word, with a very specific inflection, and now everyone else has picked it up as well. My favorite was when the southern guy had everyone in production saying 'that thar computer' for a few days. He has an awesome accent, us northwest types can't get over it.
The senior stato at work tends to use "Oh, F### Off" every time an email comes in or when he answers the phone (should point out that when he says it when answering the phone it's usually because the voice mail is calling him). One of the data managers recorded him on his phone and then set it to the text message alert. "Oh, get real" is another one that gets thrown around a lot
"Hi, Can I Help You?" closely followed by the defensive gambit "Hell dude, I didn't wanna ask, they frickin MAKE me ask! How do you think it feels to have a hundred people say to you 'Gimme a chance to look around FFS!'" Yah, my boss is somewhat paranoid about customers. Joe
F*ck. When people pull onto the lot, its something along the lines of "Not another mother....ing customer! god ....it. why can't you mother....ers go the .... away. .... ....ing .... go the .... way. I hate you with every fiber of my soul. I hope your dumb ....ing worthless ... dies before you get to my ....ing door so I don't ahve to deal with you." This is usually yelled if there is no one in the showroom and promply followed by "Good morning, how can I help you?" Err...yeah. I actually usually start out with a pretty nice attitude. It just starts to go downhill after the complete morons start showing up. Also when I get someone who can't figure out what the hell it is they actually want. It sounds bad but I've actually told a customer to step aside with a handful of brochures so could get the line moving again. In general though, I have a Randall outlook on customer service. "This job would be great if it wasn't for the ....ing customers." .... customers.
"Really?" As in "Is that subcompact really going to cut me off in a two ton ambulance?" or "Are they really going to send us on a 12 hour transport we KNOW we'll never get paid for". Variations will be accepted.
"Møkk!" Which is a way of saying "crap" in Norwegian. (It's a bit on the nicer side, though) It have become an internal joke in the last year or so.
i hear this one a lot, all the carpenters on site are french, and lately some of the other trades have started shouting it out too.
At my last place it was "is it 5 o'clock yet?". We'd generally start asking that at about 9:30. Then I left for a better job on significantly more money
Either 'Can I go home now?' or 'I can't be bothered'... It's too close to call Actually the job itself is quite good, but like someone above said, the customers can be a bit of a PITA!
Surely, your customers can't be as snobby, irritable, rude, arrogant as the customers i have to deal with, i mean, Waitrose just calls out to the snobby, irritable, rude, arrogant customers, haha. Sam
If related to work, it's probably 'wheel' or an acronym which describes one of the production processes. Otherwise, probably an exclamation of discontent due to Murphy.
