Don't you just hate all that marketing speak? So irritating. I hate "blue sky thinking" and "24-7-365 functionality" and "appropriate verbage" bleuch! hate it.

What are your most hated marketing/office terms?
Hal - What's mind showering?!
 
Touch base, Tablets of stone, wake up and smell the coffee, Thinking outside the box, Push the envelope. and too many to list here.

My personal hates are:-

Mind showering
Pushing Back
Forward thinking

Speak English.....


See - I was presenting to a council and I said we needed to brainstorm some ideas (OK I do use office speak at times) and noticed a look of complete shock on people face like I had just dropped my trousers and mooned at the room.... But no I had commited a much bigger faux par. Brain storming was not allowed as it apparently upsets people who have some kind of disease that effect 1 in 100 million people and would I use the term mind showering as it wouldn't cause offence.

So now I mind shower instead of brain storm.
