Actually, that's another one right there: nothing these days is ever done, made, provided or accomplished, but 'delivered'.A bit like when Jesus delivered the Experience-Centred Narrative on the Mount, really.

excommunicated or in the context of the thread title retired'cancelled' is a neologism that is in some ways quite vague, really something that serves the purpose for this new phenomonen. 'made a pariah' i guess would be the old formulation.

Sounds like two possible answers to a question about whether you made it to the toilet in time.or dropped! or even leaked
i use boss a lot. i've never worked out if it originated in south asia or if it originated in the UK. coz south asians love it, everyone from pakistan to bangladesh seems to use it. but its also fairly normal to hear from people in the uk without such roots. i reckon it's south asian.
Every forum needs a villain, you should be honoured. A couple of years ago it was the formerly fearsome @thirdform but now he's kind of tolerated, his routine has become enjoyable, cute, he's a lovable rogue and in a way.. toothless. you still have power
I'm gonna see this everywhere nowI don't think it necessarily needs to be cancelled but I have noticed this use of the word "across" - bureaucratic / business world / governmental lingo for being on top of a problem or some bit of implementation that needs doing. "It's okay, Julian's across this". "Guys, we need to be across this".
i watched an interview with sleaford mod last night and he was going forwarddirections and orientation are important to management - my lot are using "shift left" * as a phrase for dumping their work on to underlings - and of course they are always going on about "going forward", it's like a space filler with them, instead of going "erm" they can just insert "going forward'..meaningless **
*"shift left" is actually an abuse of software / dev ops ( another abused term ) jargon, but what do they care
** I once printed out a a bullshit bingo card for one "town meeting" and counted one inhabitant of the "C-suite" using "going forward" at least 30 times within a 20 minute period, I ran out of space for the x's because I only used A4 paper
tldr; can we please cancel "going forward"?
