"Strategery"
I was in a meeting today where everyone was trying to sound more important than the other person. How is this done you ask? Well, try throwing out words that most people wouldn't think of using such as schemata, multi-digressional, bi-faceted, paradigm shifting and I thrown in my favorite strategery. This is what happens when you sit around talking about how wonderful you are and pat yourself on the back all day yet don't actually produce a tangible product. And despite working in the computer field these are not computer geeks. How do I know this? Because also during this meeting the phrase "they know their doo doo" was used.

It sounds like they were just trying to remain proactive while leverging synergies.

You all should try discussing pedagogy sometime.

"Excuse me, but 'proactive' and 'paradigm'? Aren't those just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that... I'm fired aren't I?"

This quote from The Simpsons came to mind today in our company meeting about restructuring.

I'm afraid my comments are just negative value added.

We can thank Mr. Steven Coven for adding such expressions to our verbal lexicon.
