How on Earth did the BBC manage to come up with the 50 best (i.e. worst) examples of office-speak or buzzwords without even ‘ping’, ‘helicopter view’ or ‘delta’?  Delta always gets me: I haven’t found a single instance when using the word ‘difference’ wouldn’t do – unless one is actually taking about when a river meets the sea.
Of course my own workplace has some interesting terms, many the result of translating corporate terms from French, so we never talk about new versions of software but new ‘evolutions’ of software.
