A bit late I know, but september the 19th was the International talk like a Pirate day.

Buzzword Mania

In my two years of living in corporate hell, I think I've come across atleast a dozen individuals who can speak for a couple of hours using nothing else but words and phrases from this list:

• Back to the drawing board
• Get our ducks in a row
• Do the heavy lifting
• Think outside the box
• Value-Added
• Sea Change
• EOD
• deliverable
• actionable
• metrics
• synergy
• core competencies
• Built from the ground up
• Drink the Kool-Aid
• Level playing field
• Steep learning curve
• 800-pound gorilla
• Lion's share
• Low-hanging fruit
• leveraging our assets
• mission-critical
• moving parts
• client-focused
• fudge factor
• client-based
• empower
• peel the onion
• ethical
• mission statement
• out of the loop
• process
• service organization
• initiative
• recognition
• streamline
• boil the ocean
• globalize
• exponential
• high priority
• dog and pony show
• push the envelope

Why! oh Why can people not speak like normal human beings!

An out of the blue random trip to Pulicat lake, no plan, no objective, didn't even go to the bird sanctuary (was off-season), just a sand-bar, virgin beaches and lots of nice pictures. Wheeee.
