12. Good one

[Don Claybrook]

5. Network

The verb form has been in common usage for quite awhile now, so it doesn't seem so strange. But I work on networks. I TALK to people.

Also, here's an irritating one: blue sky. Yeah, it's an adjective and a noun, but now it's a verb (meaning, give me the most positive possible outcome): blue-sky me on the upcoming project.

Note: all of this corporate-speak garbage only happens "at 50,000 feet".

11. dialogue is right next to network

I don't dialogue with a colleague, I may have a dialogue......btw, I don't get the 50,000 feet reference. I haven't heard that one.

[Don Claybrook]

16. 50,000 feet

I was just trying to work this annoying bit of corporate speak into the thread, but it's not a verb.

It pretty much means: I'm in management and I don't have a single technical clue in my head. Give me the salient points, the high-level overview of what you're talking about.

e.g.,

"Since this is just a planning meeting, give me the 50,000 foot view of your planned implementation".

Some who are out there on the bleeding edge even ask for the 30,000 foot view.

[joneschick]

22. yuck. just yuck.

I guess I work too far down the line.
