I need to find a really pompous way of saying something

104 replies

Knitter99 · 26/01/2022 20:01

3 of us volunteer for a charity doing some office admin work.

One of us is a pompous old sod and marginally in charge, 2 of us are quite normal.

The pompous one asked the normal one to ask me to "facilitate the requisite virements by conclusion of play", which basically means a bookkeeping transfer between two accounts.

What is the most pompous sounding way I can reply to say I've done it?

I've only just done it now after putting the kids to bed so I'm not sure I have done it by "conclusion of play" right enough. But I've done it.

I beg your fucking pardon.. Can you repeat that in English?

stuntbubbles · 26/01/2022 20:10

Ooh, I think you should go the reverse of pompous. Something like “Sorted, guv” or the worst gif meme you can find. Get his goat. (I’m assuming it’s a he.)

SenecaFallsRedux · 26/01/2022 20:10

old sod

Are you referring to the person's age, and if so, what does age have to do with it?

I am in the adequate position of advising your most noble self to perform the act of coitus on your own self whilst you depart to the farthest side of coitus.

(Fuck off to the far side of fuck)

MoiraNotRuby · 26/01/2022 20:12

I'd do the opposite and reply

SwedishEdith · 26/01/2022 20:13

Definitely just go the "Done" route. I hate long-winded emails.

Not bad but 'affirmative confirmation' is somewhat tautologous?
Knitter99 · 26/01/2022 20:23

@RubaiyatOfAnyone what does celerity even mean? I have honestly never heard of that word in my life. I'm definitely using that one!

HeronLanyon · 26/01/2022 20:25

Guessing opposite of deceleration or some such analogous root usage (oops carrying on with pomposity perhaps)

Say it in Latin
Opus meum consummatum est

(My work is finished)

HeronLanyon · 26/01/2022 20:30

If you can somehow get your hands on carbon paper or an ‘internal memo’ slip then I think the recipient may also be thrilled by that ! Grin

JayAlfredPrufrock · 26/01/2022 20:30

Off you fuck then cunty chops.

Or is that not the vibe you are looking for?
