Every office worker has at least one manager who uses these kinds of Trendspeak. Remember "The Big Picture?" "Market depth?" "Customer synergy?" My director's newest gimmick is "long pole in the tent." We keep a weekly score from his various staff meetings to see how often it comes up.

It's all part of the banality of corporate life.
