This is a question Annoying words and phrases

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

Office Talk....
I know someone has already mentioned a few. But I work with a fucking office full of these cunts.

In a meeting the other day, a director says, yes I had the meeting in Singapore and got a "helicoptor view" of the project.

? - You did fucking what? - you actually got in a helicoptor and hovered above the desk to read the project notes?

What a fucking cunt. He'd just actually read the whole page.

Added to that we had

Blue Sky Thinking
Singing from the Same Hymn Page
Meeting Bandwidth
Mountain View (Must be like Helicoptor)

Its utter fucking poncy needless wank speak

Get to Fuck.

It's an overuse of euphemisms and metaphor
Slipping one or two into the conversation is reasonable, but going overboard just sounds like they're trying to sound cool and modern.

ALso, if he'd said that he literally had a helicopter's view, then I could see your complaint.

There is no place for the word helicoptor in an IT Project review, unless

a)You are working for Stringfellowe Hawke and Airwolf
b)Your customer is in the helicoptor industry.

I get the same, when you work in IT there is an abundance of silly terms, these days I out my hand up and ask them yo explain what they mean, which seems to stump most of them.
