office-ese

pronounced like other foreign languages - chinese, japanese, office-ese. pronounced - office "ease".

description - the cliche, usually trendy language spoken by corporate office / executive types to make themselves seem more intelligent / important than they are, or so busy, or just cool / "in the know" amongst their corporate world colleagues, etc.
examples of cliche words / phrases- Having said that, if you will, essentially, so to speak, others - dude, I wish I could help you, but i'm totally slammed / swamped / jammed. "Thank you / Thanks so much", although never spoken in a way that feels really sincere at all.

I wish she would stop speaking office-ese, she's so annoying.

OMG I really wish Brad would chill (stop) with the office-ese. It's totally annoying.

Office door mat

Referred to as the office administrator. Others will pile shit on your plate and pull you in 5 different ways. Accomplishing any task of will become nearly impossible. People will copy you in on emails and tell other people that you will be reaching out to them. This covers ones ass., but not yours. You will be paid less than 95% of people in a company. If you are hourly you will be will the first person at the office in the morning and the last one to leave.
Thanks Sharon, our office door mat will reach out to you to insert task here.
