Slang SurveyWhat new bit of language are you hearing at the moment? We want to hear words and phrases, with definitions and where it's being used. We're interested in marketing speak, stuff from kids in playgrounds etc.

*points down at greendwarf*Think you've got that last one a bit pete tong.
Anyway a few business/publishing ones:
"drilling down" - basically researching a new product, based on a niche part of an existing range.
"actionable" - something that you can action.
"action" - do
"upskilling" - training
"leverage" - use
"facilitate" - well it used to mean help or assist. Seems to just be a way of saying 'get stuff done' now.
And so on. One of the joys of working for an ill-educated salesboy is that you get to hear this shit all day.
