Am I completely out of touch with the way people speak?

What would you interpret the meaning of this sentence as?

'Are you quite financial this month?'

To me, that makes no sense. DH (who asked it) says it's perfectly obvious and it's how people talk these days. He meant, are you quite financially secure this month.

AIBU for this to piss me right off? He says I am a hopeless pedant and this is just the casual parlance du jour.

Are you a hopeless pedant?
No hopeless pedant would come out with
'What would you interpret the meaning of this sentence as?'

Your grammar isn't exactly top notch now is it?

I should take control of his financials. That'll learn him.

Peaceout - I stand corrected. He thinks I am a committed pedant, is what I should have said.

I would start asking him random nonsense questions.

Are you watertight this month?

How Global are you at the moment?

What is your status loose-wise?

I am sure others will have better suggestion, but I would just love to drive him mad with drivel.

You need to think outside the box OP!

"He's trying to get down with the kids! silly old sod."

Exactly what I thought!

If it's how people talk these days, I have no desire to join in & sound so twattish!

I could infer what it means but I'd wonder why someone would force me to infer, rather than speaking clearly.

Love what Astrantia said

He's nearly 48!

Just reply 'I got my cheesy peas dis month blud innit. Brap.'

Tell him you are not correcting him your are solutionising his communications

He has also been known to say 'this one's better by a margin' and expect me to know if he means this as a positive or negative.
SPECIFY, fool!!!!! It's either a wide or a narrow margin. FFS.

Oh come on though, there's a difference between using colloquially sloppy grammar on a chat site and using words that don't even make sense. The former is perfectly normal to anyone but the most hardened pedant, whereas using ghastly management babble outside the workplace (or in it, imo) should surely be punishable by a slow and painful death. YANBU at all, OP.

The cool kids round here reply to everything with the word "safe."
Therefore I suggest that whenever he spouts nonsense like this (trying to be cool), you just reply with "safe." If he asks what you mean, you just say "it's obvious bruv innit?"

I love it when dh brings home examples of stupid educational jargon he's heard in meetings. One of my favourites was their I.T. consultant telling them they needed to be 'device agnostic'.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how he manages to dismiss the collective wisdom of mumsnet and maintain that he's right.

If he's determined to use an adjective in this way, just reply:

"Yes, I am rather pecuniary"

It sounds like the kind of 'speak' they use in Building society ads or literature. To say ' are you financially secure' makes sense to me, but put that way round it doesn't.
Maybe his colleagues use this type of language?

Is it a concern that I knew exactly what he meant? And also liked his 'margin' sentence?

Nice blog post about "woke".

it doesnt sound like hes trying to speak cool speak more like as a pp said hes speaking management bollocks you need to talk about level playing fields and drawing lines in the sand with him op?

you need to reach out to him.

Simply tell him he needs to role-model an agile approach, to drive an end-to-end, holistic home communications solution. Innit?

DH sometimes speaks of reaching out to people which makes me giggle as its straight from work. I will ask him to operationalise what he is suggesting.

Financial being used as an adjective?

"Quite" qualifying degrees of financial-ness?

Nope, not convinced. Utter bollox.

It's in competition with "Shop our blouse collection" for annoyance factor. Probably made up by a Marketing Graduate in a sharp suit.
