"Well, basically. . . . ."

Don't you just hate it when someone tries to explain something that begins with "Basically. . . . . ." and follows it up with an explanation long enough to become a university lecture or text book in itself? And thats just within the first sentence.

"So basically, we need you to design the solution to accept a variety of objects such as orders, networks, work breakdown structure elements, confirmation numbers, not to mention. . . . . "

(the sun sets and night falls, polar ice caps melt, Osama died of old age, Service Pack 3 for Windows XII was released.)

" . . . . . and the various order quantities should be handled as well which should allow the forecasting module to give an accurate number, up until they finally confirm it. You got all that?"

"Yeah, no problem. When I get back from trimming my beard, could you please elaborate on it some more?"
