Disengaging Phrases: Bamboozle Them with Jargon

December 12, 2008 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Important memo. I just had a thought shower so at this moment in time here is all of it so we keep our heads up as I want to keep you in the loop to get our ducks in a row by brainstorming and being pro-active about going forward to touch base at the end of the day so that we sing from the same hymn sheet to turn things around with our 360º thinking before the credit crunch has our thinking outside of the box go so high as to become blue sky thinking and we begin pushing the envelope to start downsizing.

According to work in Great Britain these were the 20 most despised words of business jargon:

  1. Thinking outside of the box
  2. Touch base
  3. At the end of the day
  4. Going forward
  5. All of it
  6. Blue sky thinking
  7. Out of the box
  8. Credit crunch
  9. Heads up
  10. Singing from the same hymn sheet
  11. Pro-active
  12. Downsizing
  13. Ducks in a row
  14. Brainstorming
  15. Thought shower
  16. 360º thinking
  17. Flag it up
  18. Pushing the envelope
  19. At this moment in time
  20. In the loop

How about writing some jargon in a comment to my memo. We can keep everyone disengaged or at least completely bamboozled.
