Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

No words, just... NoddingOK, this one's for every outside broadcast reporter on BBC news.
When we cur to you from the studio, and the anchor's asking the question on the critical story you're there to cover. I don't know, kittens stuck up an MP or something. YOU DO NOT NEED TO NOD THROUGH THE WHOLE QUESTION!
I expect you to understand the question. It's your job. I expect you to know the background to the story. That's why you're there. Just keep your fucking head still and try to look intelligent.

It's like the cock-eyed head thing..Christa Ackeroyd (formerly of YTV, now on the BBC) does this. A lot.
Usually at the end of her report, speech, whatever, she does this weird sideways head thing, like some weird motion similar to what Gordon Browns does with his jaw..
It makes her look like her heads been stuck on incorrectly.

They're called "noddy shots"...... and you take them to cut away to the interviewer so it doesn't look like the interviewee is just standing there talking pish to no-one (although I suspect we'll see a lot of that over the coming month). The great thing about them is that in a taped interview they let you mask edits in the interviewee's speech - if you just chopped out a bit then they'd jump within the frame. So you cut away to a noddy and back to the subject. The option is to do that pain-in-the-arse dissolve thing where you fade down the audio and back up, as you mix the video from one clip to another and they kind of teleport across the frame. I hate that.

AcknowledgementI always thought it was so the presenter knew they could hear what is being asked. Whenever they aren't nodding they normally can't hear them and stand there looking stupid.
