Definitely need to remind myself to ask more questions, but not lazy ones, thanks.

But "ask" is a verb, not a noun, sheesh.

We have found that calling a specific request or requirement as "the ask" allows for everyone to take credit for the results, if desirable.

It's also a noun, both in common usage and in dictionaries.

I see it's a British commonwealth thing: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/ask

Still it sounds like business executive jargon such "spend," also a turnoff.
