You all have inspired me to create a few sentences chuck full of the buzzwords mentioned. Hope you get a chuckle out of it. Cheers.

...Now is the time to be proactive and manifest a paradigm shift to extrapolate non-contiguous sources. The end product will create an amazing synergy and heighten cognitive dissonance...

@nwbabs We must be sure develop a strategic plan to ensure that we do not work in our own silos. Perhaps an ad hoc working group should be put together to review our mission statement.

I don't miss those staff meetings, department meetings, and team meetings.

Buzz words sure come and go. Back in the 90s, anytime I heard the word synergy in a meeting I would feel like barfing. Started counting the times said or read in a memo to fight the urge. Cheers.

You just took me back! I hated the word synergy too.
@CalminHeart In the 90's I worked for state government. The word the powers that be started using was paradigm. We even had to sit through paradigm training. It had nothing to our jobs. To this day I don't understand what they were getting at with pushing this other than giving the staff development department something to do.

Oh yes, I remember that too. I was a manager and remember cringing while struggling to pretend to go along with it for my department.

I am 100% sick of the term 100% as a way of agreeing with someone else's statement. It's almost as annoying as 1,000%, which I am also 100% tired of. BTW, someone should 100% tell the hosts that LENTH and CAH-YEN are not words. Lol, 1,000% first world problems.
