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.

River Office

Corporate department with little to no regard for the well-being of their employees, who come and go quickly because of this. It stops being considered a River Office as soon as an employee lasts for longer than 1 month working there.
Tyrone: Damn, every time i go to Gamestop©️ they have an entirely new roster of employees

Jaquanda: Well I heard the boss beats them up on a daily basis and never actually pays salaries. No wonder it is a River Office

French Offical Ruling

And immediate and out of left field ruling by French judges in a competition to ensure that the French competitors win. These do not have to have appeared in any of the official rules to begin with, it's simply that the French judges need to find a reason to disqualify the winner who is not French.
In the international stuntman competition, the French Offical Ruling was that the Americans were disqualified for using stuntman dressed up as Nazis to take Falls instance and therefore the French decided to disqualify them because they used Nazis.
