Crap 'Buzzwords'

So I complained a while ago about 'social cleansing'. It seems a better word is 'social expulsion' and I'll be using that.

Sounds a bit like farting in a crowded lift to me.

Pedigree.

just been on a call with my boss:

"if we keep playing this cowboy game we are going to run out of bullets"

Just going to glean some information

Older varieties.

Both of those expessions are better than "gentrification"!

Much giggle at Ramsaye's "farting in a crowded lift".

Passing a rowdy classroom recently the teacher, unable or unwilling to tell the noisy little sods to shut tf up, asked of them instead to “please manage your distractions”.

I don't know, heritage or heirloom seems like a decent name for an old variety of plant to compare it to modern hybrids. What else would you call them?

It just strikes me that these terms are used in a casual, meaningless way to get Hipsters to spend a fortune on a bit of veg.

You can do the same thing with fish, just by prefacing it with the dreaded 'Cornish Day Boat'.

I tried to find a definition for this. All I could dredge up was a BBC Politics article from 2003 (or something) saying it was largely undefined and mostly used to stop journalists prying further.

Yeah, I guess it's seen as an automatically more desirable product, just like organic, local, corn-fed, or whatever, and thus used as an excuse to overcharge.

"Fingerblast"

Here, here

"At the same time the nature of these relationships and its depth understanding needs to combine visual, quantitative and qualitative methodologies in a network- oriented way. "

Fuck. Off.

I like that, wtf does it mean so I can use it?

LadyLiz just sent me this:

"This phrase is in a job description I just read for a charity. I have no idea what it means!"

'you'll harness your capacity as a consensus-builder'

Whole thing is littered with belters..

= you'll write fancy begging letters.

"Inclusive Meritocracy" ...

Are we at peak "aesthetic" yet?

What's "deep-diving"? Heard it in a meeting the other day and totally couldn't follow.

Having a detailed look at.

We get a lot of deep diving in my work place. I think its big in 'Merica.

Why deep dive when you can really get granular and leverage big data for business insight?

"innovation greenhouse" and "war for talent" (<which the president of the RICS kept getting wrong - "war on talent")

"We really follow the sun."
