I hereby declare this Wednesday, Official Word Ban day. Today is the day that you are decreed with the authority to ban a word. My chosen word for this Wednesday is OUTCOMES. Never shall the free people of this land have to endure the indiscriminate torture of mindlessness that is associated with the use of this word. And from this day forward the people were truly grateful. What would be your word?
I know it's not official Word Ban Day any more, but if it was I'd nominate "actioned".
ReplyDeleteOh God. So much boardroomspeak and so few Wednesdays. I'm late too but this week mine is more a phrase "cultural fit"
ReplyDeleteMoving forward (there's another one) we see that Word Ban Wednesday was actioned as part of the cultural fit for this site resulting in really positive outcomes. Shoot me!
ReplyDelete'Strategic' was always one I hated, because it was invariably uttered by an overpaid external consultant who did nothing but attend meetings, speak incomprehensible gibberish and leave before any real work needed to be done.
