Learn to speak a language the Fabio-lous way

Apparently, the coach of the English football team, Fabio Capello has managed to
hold sway over his very rich charges with the use of only 100 words of English.


not sentences, just words. Luckily he works in the language black-hole that is football.
Just look at the fans. They learn their songs in childhood, and that's it.
The play-by-play commentators are laconic:

"a pass"
"a kick"
"it's just great!"
"f^%*&*king female refs...lesbians"

The Fabio dictionary:

1 ball
2 cup
3 player

I'd like to get the 100 magic words that would work on bankers to get them to
stop screwing up everybody's work, budget and stuff.

I think I'll get some help and get back with the news.

Possible Stockbroker dictionary:
[expanding to expressions, since they're mostly native speakers]

1 corporate welfare
2 heads I win, tails you lose
3 tax haven
4 coke and whores, the daily double

Sky Sports commentator fired for sexist comments
LONDON (AP) - One of British soccer’s leading television commentators was fired Tuesday, a day after being taken off the air and temporarily suspended for making sexist remarks about a female match official.
Andy Gray, the face of Sky Sports’ soccer coverage for the past 20 years, was dismissed by the broadcaster after “new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behavior” that took place off-air last month.
The former Scotland striker and broadcast colleague Richard Keys had been reprimanded and removed from duty Monday for making derogatory comments about lineswoman Sian Massey, former referee Wendy Toms and West Ham executive Karren Brady.
“Andy Gray’s contract has been terminated for unacceptable behavior,” Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said Tuesday. “After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today.”
Francis was referring to footage that appears to show Gray making a suggestive comment and gesture toward Sky Sports colleague Charlotte Jackson in the studio. [was it two hands cupped upwards? that means "chest infection"- Cos67]

The outspoken Gray was widely reported to be earning $2.7 million a year from Sky. He worked in studio for Fox Soccer Channel in Los Angeles during the World Cup last year and was an analyst for ESPN at the 2008 European Championship.

London-based law firm Schillings said it has “been instructed by Andy Gray in relation to the termination of his contract by BSkyB.”

He made a name for himself with his forthright opinions _ particularly on referees _ and insight into soccer, and for embracing technology to revolutionize the way viewers saw the game.

The 55-year-old Gray was broadcasting the Premier League match between Wolverhampton and Liverpool on Saturday when he and Keys make disparaging remarks about Massey, who was officiating the game.

Gray questioned whether Massey knew the offside rule, a basic rule in soccer, and made an abusive reference to Toms, saying she had been “hopeless” as a lineswoman.
