Government language? Oh, I can do that. I don't want to, but I have a parent and an uncle who were civil servants for a long time, and I've worked with several government organisations. I don't just understand "Yes (Prime) Minister", I get all the jokes in it. All of them. Even the ones in Latin.
Corporate/business cliches - yep, they're fantastic at telling me that someone doesn't know what they are doing, so there's something real to talk about.
