Maui Speak

When you move to Hawaii and three weeks later all you talk about is the vibes and your "ohana."

Jenn's been in Lanai all of three weeks and already everything on her Facebook page is Maui speak--pictures of poke bowls and long diatribes about how grateful she is for her "ohana."

I work in a hospital. Over the years, I have noticed the Human Resources director expresses himself using the same old, tired phrases. Then my boss started using them! Such as, it is what it is, instead of giving me an answer to my question. Instead of saying "I talked to so and so, it is ALWAYS, "I touched base". "Reach out" is just texting somebody. The worst is " I shared that with so and so". I feel like I should say, Thanks for Sharing!

Please talk to me normally, not in office-speak!

As we speak

(1.) Often said in dramatic moments where the situation was never planned to happen but (2.) can be said in more casual moments

1. Flight 498 has had an engine fire and is heading to the nearest airport to make an emergency landing as we speak

2. I can see the delivery driver is en-route as we speak so you should have your food within the next 5 minutes
