Crap 'Buzzwords'

One of my clients has offices all over Europe, including one in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

When my clients are arranging meetings across several 'geographies' they abbreviate Halifax to HFX.... like it's a fucking international airport.
It makes my skin crawl.

The jokes on them - Halifax (Nova Scotia) International Airport has the code YHZ.

"brand community hub"

shop.

"I have been recommended to speak with you as I am working with a pronoun prestigious insurance client"

Wtf is pronoun prestigious?

Complete mangling of "renowned"?

Complete mangling of profoundly?

Absolutely fuck it.
Not least of all because 'addicting' is a different word, meaning a different thing to 'addictive'.

A pronoun substitutes a noun... so the word 'pronoun' in your sentence is substituting for a noun? So the pronoun is 'pronoun'. Is this a recursive pronoun?

Semi pronoun.

Yes, that sounds like a predictive text or auto-'correct' disaster.

Just rediscovered LinkedIn and found some pure gold in my invitations list:

"Transform strategy into execution to reach operational excellence"

"Using transparent and effective digital marketing to achieve business goals"

"Client success manager"

"Hello Scoot, What is your colour mood today? I would like to invite you for a colour immersion experience...With XXX, create unique wellbeing experiences during your events."

A lot of verbose statements for insta-monkey.

a colour immersion experience

is wtf exactly?

Golden Shower.

My wife worked for a Shoreditch-based FinTech start-up as project manager; her job title was then changed to client success manager earlier this year - she resigned soon afterwards...

This must have been posted before but... 'webinar'.

LinkedIn makes me want to leave Western civilisation.

Not going to though obviously, it's way too comfortable.

.

That's a very rich shade.

Bit late replying, but "hub", oho, this is one of the most overused pieces of wankery around.

Usually shorthand for "we're not exactly sure what will happen here, but we expect stuff to happen, honest".

Business hub = offices, possibly even with wifi
Community hub = village hall, now with an expensive third sector consultant running it [until the grant runs out]
Transport hub = a bus stop next to a bike rack

Oh this thread is absolute gold and I can't wait to add some.

Classic - discussing plans for the coming year.

"We really need to get pen to paper and galvanize our plans for next year".

This means "it's currently fucked, we have no idea when it will be de-fucked"
