For Fuck Sake was used so much in our work that it was requested we find a more professional alternative. Good old acronym to the rescue, it's now simply FFS and said in a really well spoken bottled up manner, preempted by an intake of breath.

We also have JFDI, FOAD and KISS. What a delightful bunch of C U N T S I work with.

Used to work with a bloke who use to use phrases like peg in the ground, starter for ten, thinking outside the box etc. he was a fucking lunatic from chesterfield who thought he was bill gates because he was on 40k a year and drove a new mondeo. At the time he wore white socks with his suit and had his green mobile phone clipped to his trousers. (circa 2000) He would love to arrange meetings for times like friday at 6. He was really proud when he got in the office at 6 in the morning and would boast that he had done 90 hours this weeek. He made David Brent look cool. We used to write down all his phrases on a grid and when in a meeting we would play bullshit bingo so if he said a phrase we would mark it off. When we got four corners we would shout out bingo. His favourite acronym was IRS - information release schedule. On my last day at the company I told him he was a c..t and that I had a twelve inch cock ( I don't - it's 13) that his fat wife would like to meet and told him he was the biggest prick I had ever met. Glad leek crooks equalised that day!

Embarrassingly there are so many of them where I work, there is now an "acronym buster" on the intranet

WTF

We have a full A-Z section for acronyms on ours, with a whole page for each letter. Despite that, we still see ones every day that aren't listed.
