Mild irritation of the day.
Why do dumbshit corporate people say "lets talk offline" instead of "lets talk later"?
Why do dumbshit corporate people say "legacy products" instead of "old products"?
Why do dumbshit corporate people say "I'm out of cycles" instead of "I'm out of time"?
What is some of your favorite / most hated corp-speak?

Oh we've got no shortage of bullshit in the non-profit sector too:
accountability: nobody's getting any smarter, so do piles of paperwork that no one will ever read to prove that it's not your fault
inclusion: group the special education kids in with your slowest typical kids to make one fucked up class. give them to the tenured teacher so that the new teachers don't get fired b/c those kids screw up their test scores.
teach-to-the-test:teach your students to memorize everything thats on the test. they won't understand-just pass it on.
And I'll bet I hold the record. The other day my students got out at 10:45am and we went straight to a meeting till almost 6. And EVERY SINGLE PERSON got up for their component and said "I know we're all in a hurry to get out of here so I won't waste your time." And you can guess what they did next.

At a recent presentation, the talker kept banging on about opex (operational expenditure) and capex (Capital expenditure).
I wanted to hurt him.

today's new dumbshit terms are "technical debt" and "backlog burndown." Hot dog to whomever can define these.

nice one. someone needs to come up with a clever reverse portmanteau for this, just in case someone who's paying attention asks.
