Top five corporate buzzwords or buzzphrases I never, EVER want to hear again, in no particular order:
- "leverage"
- "smeeee's" (for those fortunate enough to be outside of corporate life, this stands for "subject matter experts" - but it's pronounced "smeeee's" because this seems to be the only way to make corporate life tolerable)
- "artifact"
- "matrix reporting relationship"
- "risk aversive"
On the upside, the 10-page buzzword-ridden document I partially wrote and completely edited, for voice and tone and stuff like that, was very well received. It's the first thing I feel like I've contributed lately, and even though I don't really know if it will be valuable to others, the aforementioned upside fact is valuable to me.
And I now hold, in my hot little hands, 604 minutes of Muppets. Do doo be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!
Where I come from Smee is a pirate! Albeit, not a very indimidating one. In fact a sort of embarassing pirate.
ReplyDeleteWhat oscar said. Smee is a pirate. Arrr.
ReplyDeleteYou could always pronounce "SME" as "smeeeeeeEEEEEEEE!"
