The Hootsman tells us a rather amusing story of bullshit bingo throughout the country.
Please remember to play along at your own place of business.
When I was working for a .com in Texas, I recall they had a penchant for using such bullshit as "reduction in force" for sacking people. "going forward" was a particular favourite of the marketroids. We even had a mention of "family jewels" rather than what I hope they meant; "crown jewels".
More recently, I have been exposed to such crap as "webinar", "leverage", and "do the needful".
Tell people at your place of work to say what the fuck it is they mean.
