Everyone's favourite word on their email here. The ship just left the harbour and they say they need xxxxx stuff ASAP. Hello? [dizzy][rolleyes]

 

 

I [wave] Bon Voyage, next port, ok?

 

 

The ship staff [furious]

 

 

I [grin] .

I use "it's not rocket science" a fair bit at work, mainly to describe dense people and their inability to grasp simple concepts.

Lim Swee Say's attempted murder of the English language:

“If you’re the best today, strive to be better. If you’re better today, strive to be ‘betterer’ and if you’re ‘betterer’ today, strive to be ‘betterest’ so that over time, Singapore’s service standards can just keep getting better, ‘betterer’ and ‘betterest’.”

No offence meant...-> Very good to use, when using vulgarity on someone.

My favourite and used by me regularly:

 

Move goalposts

 

When my bosses say one thing earlier and then later change their minds without blinking an eyelid and with a straight face even if they contradicted themselves earlier. I will mumble "Move goalposts" and they get irritated upon hearing this!! After which I will use:

 

I beg to differ......but you said xxx earlier!!

 

And they will abruptly cut me off and say I'm the boss so what I say goes......win liao loh!!!

You better be happy they use that stupid catch-phrase, because without it, there would be none in Singapore at all!
