[00:00:00] Hey, this is Sharran Srivatsaa. Welcome back to the Business School Podcast, and this episode I’m gonna give you something that is so powerful that is the Lazy Language detox, meaning there are so many phrases. And words that we use that actually are hurting us, are hurting our success, are hurting our ability to communicate well and are making other people that we talk to respect us less, want to give us less business and influence them less just because we use some really dumb phrases that we’ve really not thought about.
[00:00:29] I’m gonna break down. 10 of these phrases, why they’re lazy and unhelpful, and how you can replace them with more influential, precise phrasing and language patterns that will get you more clients, more friends, more love, and more care all starting right now.
[00:00:51] One thing is for certain, just because it’s tried and true doesn’t mean it’s working right now. So the big question is this. Where can you learn what is working right now? The strategies, the tactics, the psychology, and the exact how to. How to grow your business, how to blow up your personal brand and supercharge your personal growth.
[00:01:13] That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Sharran Srivatsaa and Welcome to Business School.
[00:01:25] All right. Let’s be real for a second. People truly judge us by how we talk. We know that the words we use, how clearly we explain things, it’s like our voice is a business card of sorts. We hand it out every time that we speak. Now, if your words are messy or vague or full of things like stuff and things, and you know what I mean?
[00:01:47] You might be sending the wrong message, by the way, even if you’re smart or even capable, which you are, and it’s like trying to, you know, drive a nice car with a dirty windshield, the engine’s great, but no one can really see it and you can’t even look through. So here’s why this matters. Clear speaking.
[00:02:05] Builds trust. You and I both know that it helps you lead. You and I both know that it makes people feel safe around you because they feel a sense of clarity in how you share, and most of all, it helps you get your point across without leaving people confused. And this confusion gets people. Do not do things like, ’cause we say it confused my stalls.
[00:02:25] So today I’m gonna do a little detox. Think of it as cleaning out your fridge or your pantry. We’re tossing out kind of the old, what do you call it, fuzzy phrases that don’t help anyone that you’ve just picked up along the way. And maybe we restock them with fresh, clear ones that actually get the job done.
[00:02:40] So how I’m gonna frame this for you is I kind of broke down and wrote down 10 phrases. Some of them are just. Simple. Some of them we just have included in our vocabulary, but, and honestly they’re just lazy. And I’m gonna give you what it is, explain how to fix it, and hopefully this will be a, a good episode for you.
[00:02:59] So let’s start with part one. This is the unsaid, a rule of using. Whatnot. The what not thing. Like when someone says that, it instantly makes me wanna turn off because in a lot of ways it’s just imprecise. It’s And what do you mean by what not? So for example, we say things like, we need to get groceries and decorations and whatnot for the party.
[00:03:20] I’m gonna get back to you and get him the files and whatnot. That’s just so imprecise. It’s so lazy. That’s so terrible. And we’ve just picked it up along the way. And the reason why it’s imprecise and unhelpful and lazy is because you have a vague placeholder that leaves the other party guessing they don’t know what the what not means.
[00:03:38] It clearly lacks specific information. They are gonna assume things. So potentially leading to oversight on like, Hey, what the heck? He talking about and it avoids the effort of being explicit. Like tell them exactly what you mean. So if you had to replace that with a better linguistic pattern, it would be something like this.
[00:03:55] We would be more specific. We would say, Hey, we need to get groceries, decorations, and drinks for the party. It’s ultra clear. There’s nothing for you to be unsure about and you just need, if you wanna provide examples, you can say, Hey, we need to get groceries, like chips and salsa, as well as decorations, such as balloons and streamers.
[00:04:14] Now you’re being very clear and the reason is if you want to, if the third way to use this is also just use a category, right? Instead of saying whatnot, use a category like, Hey, we need to get all the party supplies and food and beverages. Decorations. So at least you know from a party, like from a category perspective, you tell them what they need.
[00:04:34] Essentially, what you’re doing, the whatnot is assuming all of these things, just either tell them exactly, be specific. Provide examples, Hey, groceries like chip and salsa, chips and salsa, or use a category, say, Hey, we need to get all the party supplies. That way at least I know I need to go to Party City.
[00:04:49] Right? It’s very clear, but please just stop using whatnot. And now you, when you hear people use whatnot, you’ll realize that just being lazy and imprecise and you don’t even know what it means as a next step. So that brings me to kind of part two of the lazy, the lazy words and phrases used, which is.
[00:05:06] Blah, blah. I mean, there’s nothing more I irritating getting somebody to say blah, blah. It’s so imprecise. So for example, when people say, you know, the meeting covered, like the budget and marketing strategy, blah, blah, blah. Well what does that mean? So terrible. And let’s talk about why it’s imprecise, why it’s unhelpful, and like why it’s lazy.
[00:05:25] It first dismisses, it’s very dismissive, right? It dismisses this, the potentially important details of what the blah, blah you’re referring to. Does not allow for whoever you’re talking to to have any kind of cut full context. And most importantly, it says that either you don’t think the details are important or that the other person should not care about it.
[00:05:45] So it’s got this uninterested tone in the specific details, which is kind of very disheartening by the way. So the more helpful language pattern, if you wanna replace it with, is you can say, Hey, the, the meeting covered, the budget in marketing strategy and the upcoming product launch. Very simple. If you notice good language patterns also have the rules of three in them because there’s this idea that people say, you know, it’s 1, 2, 3, too many, right?
[00:06:09] So the meeting covered one, the, the covered the budget marketing strategy and upcoming product launch. Three things, marketing budget, product strategy, and upcoming product launch. So when you do the three things, it’s very simple and precise, and then now it allows whoever you’re talking to, to ask, Hey, did they cover this or did they cover that?
[00:06:25] Again, go back to categories. Hey, the meeting covered, like financial stuff. Strategic planning and operational updates. Cool. So I know that there was money involved, there was ops involved and there was strategy involved. Cool. At least I know I put in categories and or just take away the non crucial details entirely.
[00:06:42] Say, Hey, the meeting covered, the budget and marketing. That’s it. So you’re very specific and very clear. So let’s get specific and clear because that’s what makes this good. Right. Here’s part three. I wrote this down very irritating when I hear this, a phrase, which is, and stuff like that. So it cannot be, it’s just so imprecise and so unhelpful.
[00:07:02] So let’s say in a sentence would be something like, Hey, I have a few errands to run and stuff like that before dinner. Well, what does that mean? It doesn’t mean anything. It’s, it’s, here’s why. It’s impre, here’s why it’s unhelpful. And here it’s why it’s like lazy. It’s extremely broad. And uninformative, like there’s, don’t get any information from it.
[00:07:21] It doesn’t give any clue about what you’re actually gonna do, and it, it actually avoids slight effort of listing or even giving. The two examples again, either be simple and precise or be give examples like, Hey, I’m gonna buy groceries, like chips and salsa, or put ’em into a category like party supplies, right?
[00:07:38] The more helpful thing you can do in a situation like this is you can say, Hey, I have a few errands to run. Like picking up dry cleaning and going to the post office before dinner. Very clear, right? Or use a category, have a few personal errands to run before dinner. That makes perfect sense. Or be ultra concise.
[00:07:53] Hey, I need to pick up a prescription and then return our library book before dinner. Right? Very simple. I dunno if you ever go to the library again, but I kind of wrote that down ’cause I had to drop off my son’s library book. But you very clear, be specific, right? Here’s part four, the irritating. Don’t use this.
[00:08:08] It’s the assumption. Of making yourself feel better about yourself, which is hey, you know what I mean? So in a sentence, it would be like, you know, the weather’s been pretty good lately. You know what I mean? No, bro, don’t. That makes no sense. Don’t say that. You can just say, the weather’s been great. I love it when it’s sunny.
[00:08:24] Like it’s be precise, right? Here’s why it’s un precise. Here’s why it’s unhelpful. Here’s why it’s lazy. Right? It assumes the shared understanding without providing any specific detail to it. It also tells the listener, Hey, you have to interpret what I mean, which probably may not be accurate, but I might.
[00:08:40] I might like a cooler day. You might like a warmer day. I, I might like the mountains. You might like the beach. I have no idea. And it’s an insane conversational crutch that doesn’t add any substantive value because you just want them to feel. You wanna feel better by them acknowledging the fact that you said, you know what I mean?
[00:08:55] And when someone says, you know what I mean? I literally respond with, I have no idea what you mean. And then you create dis tension for no reason. So how do you have a better linguistic pattern here? Right? So be specific. Hey, the better the weather has been, like sunny and warm lately, great. That’s a super clear, precise thing.
[00:09:12] Or you can be like, the weather’s been pleasant, you know, clear skies, low seventies, just the way I like it. So now you’ve got the personality, personal stuff inside with the data and being precise. Or you just state your observation directly. Tell them exactly what you see. Feel here. Hey, I’ve really enjoyed this nice weather since we’ve been having It doesn’t matter what the weather is, you are just saying you like this, which is great ’cause it provides a clear, specific opinion and I know exactly what you like.
[00:09:38] It’s super simple. You don’t need the, you know what I mean? It’s insane. Crutch. Here’s part five, the vagueness of using, you know, quote things and stuff. So, for example, let’s say I use it in a sentence, I need to take care of some things today, or there’s a lot of stuff in this closet. Like what? What does that mean?
[00:09:55] So yes, sure, you don’t have to tell people everything, but here’s what’s imprecise. It’s extremely general. There’s no specific information. It makes it very difficult for the to, for who you’re talking to. Have context and it makes you feel lazy. Sound lazy. Look lazy for avoiding the. Cognitive effort of just even identifying and naming these tasks, like that’s insane.
[00:10:18] Like how lazy are you in your thinking? Just basically I need to do some stuff. No. Right. Be specific. Hey, I need to finalize this report and schedule a meeting today. Like, just be specific. Hey, there’s some old albums and winter coats and decorations in the closet. Be specific. Or, I need to take care of some administrative tasks today.
[00:10:34] Like that makes perfect sense. Or like, Hey, there’s a bunch of storage items in the garage that I need to get rid of today. Like very clear category. Again, categories are your best friend. Just always, you know, either use a, Hey, I need to go buy groceries, like chips and salsa, or Hey, I need to, you know, buy some party supplies.
[00:10:51] The examples or the categories are your fastest way to creating more precise language without saying things like, stuff, things, you know what I mean? Et cetera. All right. Here’s part six. There is no reason to oversimplify with basically, and essentially, right? So for example, you’ve heard this, I. You know, hey, basically the, the new software will improve the efficiency or essentially what we need to do is cut costs.
[00:11:13] You don’t have to say basically, and essentially why are you trivializing the importance? So the, if you wanna improve efficiency, and that’s gonna be a multimillion dollar thing, you don’t have to say, basically, the new software will improve efficiency. Like, what else do, would it do? And so it often glos, you know, here’s why it’s imprecise, right?
[00:11:31] It glosses over all these important nuances. It can, it leads to these superficial understanding of complex issues. They’re just like, oh, ba basically, that’s all it is. No, there’s, there’s some depth to it. And it also takes away from your need to avoid explaining these reasons, rationale underlying mechanisms of why the thing is happening the way the thing is happening, right?
[00:11:49] So here’s how to make it a little bit more helpful. First, just provide the key details. You would say something like, Hey, the new software will do blank. The new software will improve efficiency and it will automate, you know, data entry and streamlined communications. Cool. Like the new software will do this by this really good.
[00:12:06] Or instead of saying, we essentially need to cut costs by reducing market, like, you don’t have to do that. Just tell them exactly what it’s Right. And often, whenever you want to say, basically just think about your job is to explain the core mechanism. The thing that, by which they would do it, right? So, hey, the new software’s, automation features, that’s the mechanism, will basically reduce manual errors.
[00:12:30] Now, you can use, basically to do the result, but you’re talking about the core mechanism. So now I know that the automation features is what we’re after. The idea is you don’t trivialize the outcome. You, you, you trivialize the outcome by telling them about the core mechanism. So I can say. Basically the software will reduce manual errors by, but its automation features are the key.
[00:12:52] So now I know exactly what it is that is going to reduce the thing, right? So the core mechanism is what’s important when you don’t trivialize the thing, give them the core mechanism, the answer, the idea behind the thing. And that’s what’s really helpful. So if you’re a real estate agent and you’re like, Hey.
[00:13:08] You know, our job is to, you know, bring this home to market and create a big splash. So, and so you would say basically, we just wanna create a big splash. No, you don’t wanna do that. You can say, you know, we want to use our proprietary system that has like 72 points, 72 point plan. To launch a property.
[00:13:25] Basically the goal is to create a big splash. So now they know that’s the end result, but you’ve got this intricate system, the unique mechanism to create that thing and that’s what makes it valuable. Right. Alright, cool. I had fun writing this, these 10 things down. Just, it gives me a chance to talk about my irritation and all of these.
[00:13:42] This bothers me so much. So this is part seven, how people use a lot or a few. Just so irritating to me and it’s very imprecise low. So for example, it would be like, oh, there were a lot of people at the event. Is that four? Is that 40? Is it 400? Or it’s like, Hey, I have a few questions about the project. Is it three?
[00:13:59] Is it seven? Is it 300? What is it? A lot of people didn’t really like that thing, like how many, Hey, a lot of people called me and told me about, you know how mad at mad they are about you. I’m like, okay, who did well, Jimmy? So one person that was a lot. Because it felt overwhelming. That’s why you said us a lot.
[00:14:16] So whenever someone tells me a lot, I just am like, who? How many? Right? And so now you actually get some data points associated with it. I got a lot of emails you know about, about this. A lot of people have been asking me about this. Like, what, how many? 2, 3, 300. Is it significant enough for us to even do something?
[00:14:34] Because I will tell you, most of the time when someone says a lot, there’s nothing to really do. They just didn’t expect that. So they’re putting their triggering this on you. So that’s why it’s important for us to know why this isn’t precise, right? Because they, they, they lack kind of the specific, what I call numerical information.
[00:14:50] There’s no context associated with it, and it avoids the effort of providing more es precise estimate of the number. Hey, we sent out 400 emails and 40 people didn’t like it. Is that a lot? Or little? We don’t know. Let’s talk about it. Right? So the more helpful language pattern in this case is, hey, there were approximately like 200 people at the event.
[00:15:07] Now I know exactly how many, not a lot of people. Hey, I have three big questions about this project at this time. I don’t have to say a few or a lot. Very clear. Hey, uh, you know, you could say, Hey, there was a large crowd at the event and you, you could see like a large crowd. That’s fine, but it’s way better than a lot.
[00:15:22] Or you can say, I, you know, I have a couple of clarifying questions about the project. Couple is generally two, right? Because you don’t, you don’t have a couple, it’s a couple of people, right? Two, you’re a couple two. So you want helpful language to make it easy for the person to understand and for yourself.
[00:15:36] And yesterday I got a call from a friend, he’s like, Hey, I just wanna have a really short call with you. And I go, great. And then I said, how about, you know, how about we catch up for 10 minutes tomorrow? He’s like, well, he’s like, well, I was hoping for more for like an hour. And I’m like, that’s not a short call, but maybe I.
[00:15:51] I took it wrong, right? So thinking about that is very super interesting. So here, here’s, hopefully that was helpful. Just don’t use a lot or a little or a few. Just be precise and give them context. Right? Uh, here’s pardon rate, which is this maybe, or probably, oh, so like, so. Uncommit non-committal. So irritating.
[00:16:10] So like someone says, maybe we can finish this by Pride Friday, or like, the meeting will probably start on time. What the heck does that mean? You’re so irritating. It’s just, it’s so unhelpful because there’s a lack of certainty without providing any reasons. It, it, it makes, there’s no confidence in this process at all.
[00:16:24] And there’s, you can, you are avoiding making a definitive statement like ex. It’s just so irritating. And so if you are unsure, just provide a conditional statement. Hey, we can aim to finish it by Friday, depending on the progress of the final testing. Like that makes sense. So I know that there’s some dependency, right?
[00:16:40] Hey, you can say, Hey, the, the meeting is scheduled to start on time hoping there are no unforeseen delays. Like, I’m like, okay, cool. They have this, they have a respectful starting the meeting on time, which is cool. And so probably. So the, the, you just state what you think. Hey, based on the agenda, I think the meeting should start on time.
[00:16:56] That’s good. Right? So it tells them what you’re thinking as opposed to the probably or maybe this non-competitive self. I will tell you when people say probably maybe non-committal self, it, I hate it. And by the way, if you are a leader, if you, if you, when I say a leader, leader, manager, boss, CEO, founder, whatever.
[00:17:11] If you’re a leader of a company and someone asks you a question and you say, probably shame on you, shame on you. Right. You can say, Hey, I have to think about it. I’ll get back to you by Thursday. That’s fine. Hey, I’m not sure. Like I can, you gimme a few days to think about it and I’ll get back to you next week.
[00:17:25] Sure. But probably, maybe, you know, is so bad. It shows your terrible lack, not just of your lack of clarity of thinking, but your lack of respect for the other person and that they’re your, they’re, you know, they’re your slave and you’re the God like it is so bad. So do not say probably, maybe, especially if you’re in a position of leadership now.
[00:17:46] You can say that you in legal language and you’re like, Hey, does this drug do, you know, solve this issue? Well, probably if you’re looking at, that’s fine if you’re based on legal language, but if you’re getting, if you’re a I, I’ve seen so many leaders, I’ve heard so many leaders say and do this, it really wants me to punch ’em in the face with a banana.
[00:18:04] It’s so irritating because it shows their lack of respect and empathy and care and their own lack of competence in this process like bothers me so much. I’m gonna give you, this is my last two. This, this, I call this a neutrality trap. It’s the, it’s the great American thing that we say. It’s not said in other parts of the world.
[00:18:20] It is a great American thing that we say. It is the use of the word. Interesting. So try really hard. I will tell you, try really hard to never use the word interesting ever in your life. Life again. I. Interesting is the dumbest response to almost anything that you can say. So like for example, you’re like, that’s an interesting idea.
[00:18:36] The book was interesting. That is useless, that is dumb. That makes no, that means no sense. You know why the rest of the world does not use that? Because it’s extremely imprecise. It is super unhelpful. It means nothing. It is just a dumb thing to say. Do not ever say it. It is an unhelpful. And what does that word mean?
[00:18:54] Like it lacks substance. It doesn’t convey any kind of general evaluation. It’s probably a polite way of just avoiding a stronger and more specific opinion. And is it, is it novel? Is it thought provoking? Is it strange? Is it frustrating? Like, do you wanna think about it more? Like, what is it that it is the great American dumb word to use in normal context because it is a crutch word that means nothing and delivers no impact in the conversation at all.
[00:19:21] So what’s more helpful? The helpful is, oh, you can say, Hey, that’s a cool new approach. Or, huh, that’s a thought provoking idea. I hadn’t thought about it that way. So if you’re trying to say, I hadn’t thought about it that way, that’s, and you say it’s interesting, instead, no, you’re being imprecise. You’re being lazy with your language.
[00:19:39] Right. Or you can say, if you really enjoyed it, you’re like, oh, that was really interesting. No, what does it mean you really enjoyed it? I really enjoyed it. It’s way better than, that was interesting. Right. And it, or if you’re like. Didn’t like the book. You can be like, you know, I, I didn’t love the book.
[00:19:52] It’s kind of dull as as, as opposed to saying that was not interesting. Like, what does that mean? So just, I would fix that. If you just fix that, it’ll make all your communication go better because you have no way of like clearly explaining what the heck you mean by it. Now here’s my last part. The number of all of this, the number one thing that bothers me and.
[00:20:13] Is probably this one because I see people use it often and I see people in power use it often. I see leaders use it often, and the, the leaders that use this are the leaders or the, or the entrepreneurs or the influencers or the people that I do not spend time with. If I hear this from a person, right, if I, honestly, if I hear this from a person, I generally, that is my strike one because I know that that is how they think and.
[00:20:42] I don’t want to do strike two. Like to me, that’s already strike one, meaning strike two or three, I’m done. I don’t wanna talk to that person again because it shows me the lack of laziness. It shows me that laziness and their lack of their ability to think articulately. And that is, let’s talk about that later.
[00:20:57] So irritating. Let’s talk about that later so I can be like, Hey, hey man, I really wanna kind of chat with you about X, Y, Z. Oh yeah, no problem. Let’s talk about it later. What does that mean? That is so terrible. That’s so dismissive. Right? It’s the vague, it’s a one. It’s a really vague timeframe, and there’s no commitment to that timeframe at all because that’s a PO politician’s response, right?
[00:21:17] We’ll worry about that later. It’s just so terrible. Parents doing this to their children, right? Hey, mom, can I do this? Yeah, we can do it later. No, like it’s so bad for a child because it messes the child up like you can’t do that. It’s so wrong. Or it, it halts the full of the conversation and there’s no like timely resolution to anything.
[00:21:36] Right? And you also like completely sidestep the important discussion or concerns, or if you’re doing it unintentionally, it appears like you are. It’s also insanely dismissive because, and only by the way, I’ve only seen people of power do this, right? Founders, CEOs, attorneys, et cetera, will do things like, oh, you know, it, it, it essentially makes the other person feel that their input isn’t valued or is in urgent.
[00:21:57] Oh, we’ll just talk about it later. I’ll, oh, you know, we can talk about that later. It’s like, no, when someone tells me that, I’m like, no, we can either talk about it now or we can set a time to talk about it. Because if that, and now if you’re in a, if you’re in a position of compromise and you’re like, you know that you don’t have authority in that, back outta the relationship because it’s a crappy relationship to be in, because that person either is, you know, manipulative or they’re just dumb, and neither is a good person to deal with because they’re, they’re in inarticulate about how they actually working through things.
[00:22:26] So how would you fix it? Schedule a time. Hey, I’d like to hear about your concerns. Can we schedule a meeting for tomorrow morning? That’s so good. Oh, cool. Man, I can’t do it tomorrow. Let’s, let’s do that. That’s perfect. So it settles the matter right away. Or you can say, Hey, I, if you could say, Hey, just acknowledge it.
[00:22:42] Hey, I understand you have concerns. Could you kind of like just sketch out some main points and so that I can think about them before we talk about it in more detail. So now you’re making the next step really clear. That means I’m putting the burden on you too. Write it up or write me a memo or whatever so I can think about it and be thoughtful about it.
[00:22:56] I’m not just being dismissive about doing it later, or just explain the need for why you want to defer the thinking, right? And if it’s necessary, like, Hey, I wanna give your, like, you’d say, Hey, I really, I really care about what this process, I wanna give your concerns, like the attention they deserve. I’m literally in the mission of, in the middle of something mission-critical right now.
[00:23:13] Can you schedule some time to discuss this first thing next week? Or is it time-critical? Can wait till the, can it wait till Monday? That way, at least you’re giving the person a chance to respond about their urgency and not being dismissive. If you also are unsure about like unpacking something, you can say something like, Hey, I know this seems like an important thing and there’s probably a lot of pieces to the puzzle.
[00:23:34] Instead of going into all of it right now, could you kind of maybe share the, maybe the most pressing things that’ll we can start the discussion right now? So now I’m like, okay, cool. At least he wants to start it. Can have a top discussion and then we can defer it and schedule a time for it. In all of those ways, you’re respecting the fact that you’re not being dismissive and not saying, let’s do it later.
[00:23:52] It is so terrible when a leader does, like, I hate it so much, and I see it happen often with entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, consultants, like when people don’t have a clear thought process, it’s just like, let’s say, oh, I’ll just do that later. And that’s also the. Cause for most people’s procrastination, they’re like, Hey, it’s either an now or later.
[00:24:09] Well, it’s later means when? An now or tomorrow. Right? Well, I’ll just start it on. I’ll just start it next month. No, when? Because when you do, when you have commitment and when there’s no commitment, there’s no progress. When there’s no progress, there’s no certainty. There’s no certainty. There’s no feeling of success.
[00:24:23] And that’s the problem with all of this, right? So those are my 10 big ideas. I hope one of those, sorry I came, if I came across ultra passionate about this, I see this happen. This as a simple language. Sometimes we, we don’t call this out for people and I wanted to call it out for you to, hopefully this was helpful to you.
