Sounds like a Work in Progress or a Show and Tell?
But why 'tissue'?
Cos it's a load of auld wank? -

Yup. Or faeces.

"There will be floor walkers from IT on Friday morning and should you encounter any issues and you can always contact the Service Desk on..."
Floor walkers?
Like day walkers?
Or as opposed to ceiling walkers?

'There are representatives from numerous geographies in attendance'
Countries mate, you mean countries.

As opposed to streetwalkers.

Wanky ways to say "fucking big":
web scale = "lots of computers"
an order of magnitude bigger = "a fuckload bigger"
exponentially bigger = "a fuckload bigger"
at scale = "fucking big" -

Give me an example of when "price point" cannot be shortened to "price".
-

God I hate that.
I've been hating the abuse of 'activate' lately which, as far as I can tell just means start. Plus it always makes me think of:

Probably something marketing driven "The tesco finest range targets a consumer segment with a different price point to the consumer segment the value range is marketted to"
marketting though, Bill Hicks was right

What is a Chief Engagement Officer?
-
• #1990
It means that some company or organisation was ignoring its customers/students/patients (i.e. the people it's supposed to serve) and concentrated too much on its shareholders. As a result, someone created a very well-paid job with that (bollocks) title. Their goal is probably to make the company seem like it pays more attention to the "little people".

Pricepoint and price mean different things.

That's news to me. Can you give me an example of a sentence that uses "price point" where "price" wouldn't work?
-
• #1994
Sure.
'As a result of Cycle 2 Work schemes, the £1k pricepoint is hotly contested by bike manufacturers'.
Price would work but it's not as specific and wouldn't suggest that there's a reason why different companies are pitching at this price. Pricepoints are usually some kind of grouping or threshold. They are understood in some way. Sometimes it is more of a range. Don't why I'm defending it, it's a horrible term.

Price point - a point or range on a scale of possible prices at which something might be marketed.
Bike X and Y are both excellent for this price pointPrice - the specfic price at which a single item is sold.
Bike X has a higher sale price than bike Y -

I feel your first example would make exactly the same amount of sense without 'point' at the end.
-
• #1997
Yeah, it's a wanky term.
I'd say: "Because the Cycle2work scheme has a maximum value of £1k, bike manufacturers compete hard to sell bikes at just below this price" or something.
-
• #1998
Kind of. With "price point" I'd assume bikes X & Y were similar in price but different. With "price", I'd assume they're exactly the same price.

Price point = crap buzzword

Reminds me a bit of 'form factor'. Makes my skin crawl. Please use 'size and shape', 'dimensions', or possibly just 'form'.
Kick him in the jade eggs. Hard.
