What's a buzzword you love to hate?

[Chik]

"Curate" is one of mine. It's a fabulous word for the talentless, dumbed down, hype-without-substance, shallow generation.

Everyone's a Curator Now

"going forward" (oh, that's two words I guess).

"blah blah blah going forward...." so glad you stipulated that the thing we are discussing will not take place in the past.

Beat me to it. Is that synchronicity?

I really dislike seeing leverage used as a verb.

I'm hyper-sensitive to the use of any noun as a verb. As a friend once astutely & sublimely pointed out "In corporate-speak any noun can be verbed."


The one that gets my goat more recently is "What's our exposure?" Sweet jesus, either call it "financial risk" or just say "how much money do we stand to lose?"

[slwrnu]

hopefully. it is about doing something with an optimistic frame of mind. and decimate. this does not mean extreme damage, but to reduce by ten per cent.

Perhaps.
Jung coined the term to define phenomena that are linked by meaning, as opposed to cause-and-effect. Remember the Police songs?

Album reviews that use the word “sonically”.

"Ideation Summit" -that one makes me want to throw furniture at the person that uttered the drivel.
