Regroup and move forward: Basically means things have been shithouse.

Inter-office visitation schedule: My personal favourite, its meaning is
obvious enough, but how grand does it sound?

Empower: getting someone else to do it.

Guerrila Marketing: No promo budget.

Put our thinking caps on: What is this? Fricken Playschool?

At the coalface: On the frontline.

On the frontline: At the coalface.

Move forward on that: Haven¹t done it yet.
