the usual management rubbish
Given that I work in an office environment, I get wound up by a lot of the things people have already mentioned.

My all time irritant is "holistic" as in "we need to take a holistic view of the situation" Gah! Why, oh why must people feel the urge to use words like this when simple options are available.

The newest one I've come across is using the word "tin" when referring to PC's. Why for gods sake, it makes no sense its not even clever and no bigger outside you and your cunty mates know what you bloody mean!

I take a holistic approach to everything.
It's the only thing you can take a holistic approach to, really.

The "tin" thing
has come about due to the increasing commoditization of computer hardware. Were as in the olden days it'd be about the cost \ equipment specs and performance improvements, in today business environment it's all just tin.

Not a phrase I use myself, but I understand what people mean when they use it.

Ahh well that at least makes some kind of sense, doesn't do much to lessen the irritation but there you are

Why isnt
"holistic" a concise option?
