"UNDERPROMISE and OVERDELIVER"

duck off

"LET'S SMASH THIS"

duck off

"I'LL CLOSE IT [the deal] LIKE A BARN DOOR"

duck off

is this how young business people speak now?

Have to stick up for the first one. It's always better to under promise and over deliver. Way too many people and businesses do the opposite

Smash it is very common especially in sales teams. I hate it but have caught myself using it once or twice in the past

Sure. I know. It's just the way they parrot these phrases out, because they once heard someone else say it, and they thought it was cool. No imagination of their own.

As for mr "So I can have beans with my toast". dreary me.
 
I'm honestly thinking that this show has run its course now. the world has changed since 2005

I'm watching cos mr kcc still loves it, but duck me, these people are so incredibly irritating and it's just the same old tit year in, year out

For me the business element has gone and its more entertainment. I think it started to go wrong when they got rid of the apprentice element as a prize
