"To be fair" you're not being fair you're just disagreeing with yourself to keep this terribly boring conversation alive.
"My thing is" of course it's your thing, you're saying it.
"You alright then" thanks for the enthused greeting, let's just pretend not to recognise each other
Good, good, good and good.
I've found dialogue quite easy to write so expressions people say without thinking about them first are really welcome. I was thinking management speak too like "touch base" etc. Maybe put it in to a monologue.
There is already a management speak thread.
I launched it some time ago and it was recently reprised.
You might find some ideas to chew on, mull over and run up the flagpole.
Alternatively you may wish to kick them into the long grass.
