You don't have to implement all the McDonald's corporate jargon at the one you manage

My boss at Jiffy Lube says action item all the time. Then he farts. And spits tobacco juice on the floor. I work at one of the classy Jiffy Lubes.

...and then he hands me the old dirty cabin air filter we keep on the shelf to go show the customer before we fuck him in the ass

"Action item" has been around since at least the 80s... at least it has some bearing on the conversation.

What bothers me is people that talk very fast on the false belief that it makes them seem smarter. Watch. They speed up over the buzzwords. It's horrible. Also people insert "sort of" like this is "sort of a field name" and this is "sort of a way of defining a problem" on the false belief that it attaches them to the smartypants class of people that say "sort of" a lot. Somebody who was an intellectual at some point started inserting "sort of" into every fucking sentence. So, now every wannabe intellectual inserts sort of about the same tempo. It is the kind of thing you get with the idiot human race.
