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!
