    What's your least favourite buzzword?

    You know the type of words that low level managers in dodgy corporations use to try to inspire their staff or pass off a poor managerial decision.

    Examples are: guestimating, hundred-and-ten percent, Operationalize, Task inovator....

    What are the worst ones you've heard?

    "At the end of the day." -- Yeah . . . it's night. And?

    "Push the envelope."

    Those are buzzwords, right?

    Racist. Overused and seldom justifiably.

    "Green"

    "Green" means middle class consumer guilt. It's a friggin' code word meaning "You need to buy indulgences like some 12th century serf. Atone for your sins. The Church will pray for your soul."

    Only now the Church is the Government, and it's crony capital buddies. Bishops, perhaps?
