I prefer a straight "fuck off I'm busy" or also "fuck, oof, I'm busy." or "fuck? Awwwwf-- I'm busy :( "

This is pure adspeak. People say this horseshit to me all the time.
Believe it or not you still see this in Cognitive psychology papers pretty regularly.
Just got to wait for the old timers to die off and we'll be free of it.
I always preferred the term "resources" in that context.
Although it is possibly equal in redundance to "bandwidth".
It all depends on your theoretical framework. Resources is probably more accurate, but bandwidth isn't necessarily wrong. Although I'd be surprised if anyone in middle management had a clue.

Has anyone mentioned actualize yet. Next person that tells me to actualize something is getting pepper sprayed.

True. Many lulz at the expense of managers.
Actualise....may as well say "immanentise".
Which is cool if you are in Akaname and you make mad metal.
Not so great in its earnest context.

My incredulity was actualized, and therefore I doth implore you:
"Don't tase (or pepper-spray) me, bro!"

:poke: :idea: Lightbulb indicates getting tased.

I'm also nonplussed by the frequency of inaccurate usage of "nonplussed" these days. People
seem to think it means something like "unperturbed" or "nonchalantly unconcerned" when
in fact it means being so confused or surprised by something that you don't know how to react.
