Jargon Alert!
Do you cringe every time you hear phrases such as "cascading information" or "pre-plan"? Have you recently been told you need an "idea shower"? This article was posted on the BBC website this morning and offers a humorous look at 50 examples of "Boss Speak" or business jargon. There is even a link for Jargon Bingo for those of you getting ready for a corporate meeting this week.

Re: Jargon Alert!
Thank you, MrsHovey. That jargon really made me laugh!

Re: Jargon Alert!
Surprisingly (and fortunately), I haven't heard a lot of those. They did leave out "Let's get the ball rolling" which is one of mine that I love to hate.
