Here are the top 5 corporate euphemisms that never fail to annoy me

1. At the end of the day

Meaning: whatever your argument is, mine is better and my position compells you to listen to me…or you is fired!

2. Touch base

Meaning: Nothing really. Just calling to keep me in your address book. Derp derp hu durr durr.

Always makes me cringe when someone wants to touch my base.

3. Low hanging fruits

Meaning: We don’t want to do the hard stuff. We just want to do the easy ones and congratulate ourselves for the achievements.

4. Show thought leadership

Meaning: Quick! We need to say something quick to look smart…anything will do!

5. Buzzword

Meaning: This word can make us look smart because it is confusing to others and make them feel less-informed. Better use this as much as possible before it becomes too common.

6. Authoritative source

Meaning: I’ve read this and OMG I like it so it must be true because I can’t be wrong! Yes this is the only source I’ve read but what do you mean I need to read other sources as well?

What are other corporate euphemisms that annoy you? :)

You can pay celebrities, musicians and experts to endorse your products, but when someone with integrity and zeal like Gaddafi says it you just gotta listen….or he might just bomb you.

The Quest for Search Engine Holy Grail

Made by Google’s ex engineer, last summer a hotly hyped search engine was unveiled and was billed as a legitimate challenger to Google. Cuil, as that search engine is known, launched with quite a bit of pomp and circumstance before Web traffic flooded its servers, causing it to crash.

But did Cuil get it right?

My simple test below showed that it might be the case.

Cuil: 1 – Google: 0

Q: Why we don’t put horses at the rear of horse cart like Porsche does with their cars?

A: Because we never know what they may say behind our back.

And you know what interests me the most about Water Polo sport? I can never understand how they train the horses to hold their breath under water.
