Crap 'Buzzwords'

On that note. Thought this might be a good place to ask.

Is the a neat word for the fetishization of Japanese culture?

Other than weeaboo?

weeaboo

Thanks!

Didn't know this was a word.

I think I prefer Japanophile.

TBH I should have worked that one out myself.

Also Otaku

That's just a generic nerd/enthusiast.

I meant when used to describe someone who isn't Japanese.

"curated reality"
Actually heard today.

Today I swear I heard a bloke on the phone repeatedly use the term "whiteloving" to mean "giving a client special attention". Anyone heard of that?

No, but I've heard of 'white glove treatment'.

That must be it

...and your imagination filled in the rest

masterchef...

"the dish ate really well"

bleurgh.

I think your problem there might be in the first line of your post.

was it a square meal that a square dish ate

'"It's a living document"'

Usually identifies a document that should be written properly, but no-one has got round to it.

what's their "strat". have they got their "strat" locked down? have they used any other of the big "strat" houses

Is "strat(egy)"?

Gotta be honest, the first part sounds like someone who's just puzzled at words used in a specific field. The sentence quoted from the ONS is specifically from a document about their methodology, it's kind of to be expected that this will not be readily understandable to people not working in that field.

The second part however is 80% marketing hogwash and specifically designed to sound nice, but not really mean anything specific. I feel like hating on that is pretty justified.

"The 411"

i think it means "information".

The only 411 that ever mattered. Skate vhs ftw.

I spent decades assuming people were referencing the skate vids whenever talking about 411, not really understanding the connection most of the time but shrugging it off. I only found out about 4 years ago it's a relative of 911

411 was the number used for directory services in the US. Back when yellow and white pages were a thing.
