Hello and welcome to Learning English for Work and our series All About Business Jargon.
I'm Phil.
And I'm Pippa.
We're on a quest to understand business jargon, how it works and when to use it.
You can find a transcript for this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
In the last episode, we explored what jargon is and some opinions about it.
So listen back to that if you missed it.
But in this episode, we're going to talk through some more jargon, what it means and how to use it.
That's right.
And today's jargon is all jargon that you might hear in a meeting at work.
Pippa, do you hear a lot of jargon in meetings?
Well, when you have a formal meeting at work, there can be lots of jargon terms.
So you have the agenda.
That's kind of the list of what you're going to talk about.
You have the minutes sometimes, so somebody might take notes, and that's called the minutes.
So there's all of that jargon around meetings.
Yes.
