Om denne bog

Jargon, clichés, euphemisms . . . lies. Ever wished there was a phrasebook to help you translate all this endless bullsh*t?

When your boss asks ''Can I have a quick word?'' (real meaning: I don''t have anything to discuss, I just like putting the fear of God into you) or an estate agent describes something as having ''incredible potential'' (real meaning: absolute shithole), you''d better have Luke Lewis''s essential new book to hand. And if you need a way to spin your latest work disaster, here are numerous tried-and-tested porkies to help you out.

Based on the incredibly popular BuzzFeed series ''What People Say vs What They Mean'', this in an indispensible - and hilarious - guide to interpreting secret codes, little white lies and complete and utter bollocks.

Examples from What People Say at Work vs What They Mean

''Anyone fancy a cup of tea?'' - Offer strictly limited to the three people in my immediate vicinity.
''This is beyond my remit'' - I can''t be arsed to deal with this
''Team player'' - Has basic social skills, is not an outright sociopath
''Let''s park this for now'' - Let''s never mention this again
''We wish her all the best in her new job'' - Burn in hell, traitor
