Business Buzzwords That Make You Gag
The business world is full of jargons ( Which is why the academics hate it ) . The Fortune magazine has a column " Ask Annie" and here she lists the " Most Annoying Business Lingo words (Voted by the readers) .
There are the usual suspects like : (My comments in the bracket )
1. Touch Base ( sounds like that KPS Gill types ??)
2. Value proposition ( If you dont understand , at least confuse)
3. At the end of the day ( If it matters at the end of the day , I am sure it should even at the starting of the day ! ) ",
4. win-win ( If everybody wins all the time then we are in spirtualism not business !)
5. Bleeding edge ( can you please put a band aid to stop it ? ),
6. No brainer (becuase if it involves brains we wouldn't be talking about it)
But the winner is " New paradigm" ...
