Ricky Gervais Has An Animated Post-'Office' Life : NPR
Mr. GERVAIS: Just like The Office wasnt really about selling paper, it was about a few people thrown together, you know, an arbitrary existence walking the same carpet every time. And Extras wasnt really about film making and film stars. It was about a group of friends trying to get on with different ambitions. And it was important that we made them the bottom rung of the ladder because no one wants to see, you know, unfeasibly handsome, brilliant people doing brilliant things. Where’s the fun in that?
BIANCULLI: Yeah.
Mr. GERVAIS: We want to see a struggle. We want to see people falling over but getting themselves back up on their feet. And thats whats extraordinary. Ordinary people, their struggle; there’s nothing as interesting as real life out your window. You walk down the street for half an hour, I’ll give you half an hour of drama.

Google Speak
I asked a Googler if we would be able to stay in corporate housing for more than a month. A blunt answer in plain english would be, “No, but we can make exceptions in rare circumstances.” What I got was, “Soooo…. [softens the blow] we really encourage our new hires to find a place within a MONTH and we think this enables enough time to…” and so on. In short, the “soooo…” strategically starts the sentence and implied a negative response with a softened blow. There is no “yes” or “no” sentence constructors, everything begins with “soo…”
