Buzzword Bingos Mugs

'This is serious. I think our area of expertise lacks a buzzword.'

"Remember the golden rule: more buzzwords, less real words."

"And isn't it time we replaced the worn-out, meaningless cliches in our mission statement with some dazzlingly new meaningless cliches?"

'Wake me up when he doesn't use a buzzword.'

"Better than a business model, I have a business scheme."

Even more of what people say (and what they really mean)

"Repeat after me: We are delivering the proactive core value promises and rolling out our real time best practice action plan going forward ..."

Bingo night.

'Come on, Walter, you're wasting out time! Stop using complete sentences!'

'Sir, your tweeting coach is here.'

Final words on gravestones.

What Business People often say (and what they really mean)

Bee to bee: 'We used buzzwords before they were trendy.'

"We must kill this initiative, so let's mainstream it."

"Can you go through all the old pitch decks and replace the word 'crypto' with 'AI'?"

"Let me through, please. I know what the letters C.P.R. stand for."

"Which 'ism' am I this week, Ms. Trotter?"

"O.K. What part of 'malignant regression and pathogenic reintrojection as a defense against psychic decompensation' don't you understand?"

'It has everything... I love it!'

'Sir, what comes first ??" the buzz or the spin?'

Bureau of Buzzwords

'I'll give you this, Hargrove - Your report was a perfect blend of cliches, banalities and platitudes.'

"I work in PR where I provide a dynamic and highly effective bespoke service that can work for you and blah blah blah ..."

"Excellent report! Totally incomprehensible and confusing! Not one of our board members will understand a word! Absolutely perfect!"

Communicating with clients without using buzzwords posed a challenge for the consultants.

They had no idea what they were doing, but it didn't matter...

'I have no idea what a Wiki is but I want one on my desk next week, now move it, people!'

Gads. I've forgotten today's buzzword.

"Our brand is about talking about our brand."

'Do you get the feeling that, in educational workshops, there are way too many buzzwords thrown around?'
