Crap 'Buzzwords'

Mmmm, that's a powerful statement.

I for one was profoundly moved..

Strong

I think I might have moaned about this before but everyday I hear it and it distresses me. It is said in meetings and briefings all the time. If a report or similar is spoken about somebody always said "I've not been sighted on that" or "once I have been sighted on the issue" etc. Cocks.

Poignant.

Just heard that instead of 'let's sleep on it', some people say 'let's sunrise that'.

Wankers.

just clocked another 'soup to nuts'

fuck you and your soup. and possibly nuts.

Fucking hell, even the artisans are at it now. The final bastion of sanity has been broken.

"Social Media validation is a powerful social currency for Millennials."

Actual slide.

I really wish people would stop using 'social cleansing'. It's a terrible, callous euphemism for a very unpleasant thing; nothing's being 'cleansed', perhaps rather dirtied. The odd thing is that the people who might be the ones being 'cleansed' wore this term like a shield on the Kill the Housing Bill march on Sunday. I'm very sensitive to propagandistic expressions like that. It's obviously not a 'buzzword' in the same way that all the bullshit office jargon that usually populates this thread is, but everyone from Jeremy Corbyn to the people under threat from cuts uses it. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to come up with a better term. :(

A euph?

I'd say the opposite. It's clearly from ethnic cleansing which is rather more extreme than the social cleansing you refer to. The Tories haven't yet put people into concentration camps or done mass murder based on social standing.

I'd say it's a dysph.

Are you at the same conference as me?!

I heard the word 'heropreneurship' yesterday.

I agree with Heft. I think it clearly borrows from ethnic cleansing. While it might sound euphemistic, it implies a callousness on the agents of the cleansing, i.e. that they consider poor people to be dirty.

Just got this gem in a work cost saving email.

'Ethnic cleansing' is an even more dreadful euphemism for 'genocide'. The clue lies in 'cleansing'. That's the usage to which I'm objecting. Nothing is being 'cleansed', quite the opposite.

Wouldn't that depend upon which side of the ideological boundary one fell upon?

To the original point though I would also argue that 'social cleansing' borrows its terminology from 'ethnic cleansing' and whilst we all might agree that nothing is being 'cleansed' the phrase is useful as it is a vile and disturbing phrase being used to describe something vile. It implies things that make most people (rightly) feel uncomfortable and angered, and that there is still such a thing to many as an 'undesirable population' and that they are being washed from the face of their neighbourhoods.

would you prefer bleaching, as in say, anal bleaching?

Increase organic engagement and reach.

Why increase something when you can amplify it?

To be fair, the above is something quite concrete when talking about social media performance, not that it actually means anything beyond that.

I want to use the word platformification.

Kind of like how people use the word gamification.

Basically a term which describes creating a platform, upon which you can build other things.

Help.

wut?

term which describes creating a platform, upon which you can build other things.

I know.

How about

Platform

the "ation" suffix implies that you've made something into a platform. Is that the case?
