RE: Buzz words

in #buzzwords7 years ago (edited)

A few I seem to hear/use all the time in business include:

  • Bandwidth - not internet bandwidth but a term describing how much work a person can produce.
  • Culture - the general attitude of a business/team usually becomes evident when things are going very well or bad.
  • Herding cats - AKA one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. busy handling stuff
  • Core competency/center of excellence - A nice brand name for shit you do well
  • It is what it is - More of a phrase to stop yourself from beating your head against the wall.
  • Pending event - shit that is going to happen so you may as well make other changes while you are doing something to handle the shit.
  • Close the loop - followup with the intent of confirming the completion of a task
  • Value - shit you say to someone looking to complain about the price of something
  • FOMO - Like in crypto, irrational fear of missing out.
  • Spam - canned ham product
