Banish bullshit
I have made it my personal mission at work to stamp out verbal cliches and corporate buzzwords.
One that pops up all the time is moving forward. Which I really hate.
So tomorrow morning I will be sending all our staff a link to Unsuck It.
A fab new serivce that translates bullshit buzzwords into plain English. Brilliant!

So true and so good! I wish they had an iphone app so i could carry it around all the times and translate people's b.s on the go.
Knowing a shitload of meaningless industry-isms does not make one good at their job :/
Check out this BNET psot the for a source of words to unsuck. Good timing ;-)

Stan, you must have absolutely LOVED the gazillion times "moving forward" was said during the recent election, Julia's campaign motto. My personal favourite is "driving & delivering sustainable policy outcomes". Working hard to achieve lasting results doesn't quite have the same "buzz" it seems!
