Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Moronic phone calls make my day.
Several months ago...
Moron: "I'm calling on behalf of BT to let you know how you can save money on your phone bill."
Me: "Oh aye? I like saving money; tell me more."
Moron: "How much would you say your monthly spend on telephone calls is?"
Me: "You're calling on behalf of BT; you tell me."
Moron: "Um, er, yeah. Okay, do you have your phone service with BT?"
Me: "You're calling on behalf of BT; you tell me."
Moron: "Okay. Thanks for your time. Goodbye."

And just last night...
Robot: "Hi. I'm... calling... from your... credit card provider... this... is not a... sales call... there is nothing... wrong with your credit... card account but... it is important... that you call us... urgently to... discuss..."
I hung up at that point. I didn't fancy listening to a telephone robot do a poor William Shatner impersonation and not even bother to tell me which "credit card provider" the robot supposedly represented.
