"Outwith"
Why do I only hear this horrible word from members of the Intelligence Corps? Is it because a former D INT used it in almost every bloody sentence, or is sounding like a pretentious idiot now a Corps requirement?
:O)

Albeit that this is an interesting topic it is outwith my purview so I will decline to comment
ARRSE - Not as funny as it used to be since 2003.
Any state which has a permanent staff of officials, they begin as our servants and end up imagining themselves our masters.

Its a PW thing!

According to Ispeakcrabandpongo "Typically Island Ape Brits," That suits me!

You'll hear it in Scotland, too.
It was like that when I got here.

Although I found it to be a west coast thing and even wierder when their attached Romanian Engineers started writing method statements in jockanese using such phrases!

If they have ever had a Scot as D INT this could well have started a tradition ?
Particularly my experience is that Aberdonians will never use "outside our responsibility" but always "outwith"
..though I would never completely rule out the possibilities of jargonisation or pretention!...For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.
