From corporate jargon that sounds made up (but isn't) to the hidden meaning behind your email sign-off, we're unpacking the little things that say a lot about how we show up at work.

Are you a "Best" person, a "Thanks in advance," or someone who saves "Kind regards" for when things get really serious? And what exactly does it mean when someone signs off with "Happy to discuss"? We're sharing our hot takes, not-so-silently judging, and making the case for Best Regrets as a perfectly acceptable email sign-off.


In this episode:

  • Corporate acronyms and buzzwords: can you tell what's real and what's made up?
  • The latest jargon we're stealing from the worlds of marketing and Advertising Week
  • Email sign-offs decoded: what do "Best," "Cheers," "Warmly," and "Thanks in advance" really mean?
  • Email signature do's, don'ts, and things that make us cringe

…and, as always, a little Oyster Talk along the way.
