I have noticed an increasing number of my coworkers who overuse business buzzwords in an attempt to sound more professional.  The amount of jargon being thrown around makes everyday language ultimately confusing.  It simply baffles me only because a lot of my coworkers are highly educated. 

So, in an attempt to understand what they were saying I went online and found this site that illustrates exactly what I`m talking about.  So if you`re sick of all the business buzzwords you should check out this site: http://buzzwordblends.babson.edu/

Let me know which buzzwords you overhear the most.  Bandwidth drives me crazy!

Enjoy!

I`ve got to stand by my long term favorite that looks like it didn`t make the list.

`Synergy`

I was once "re-positioned" into a consumer faceted company segment.

We had some documents that were "challenge-enabled," which I believe meant they had problems. I dunno...I was so bemused by the term I spent the next week wandering around mumbling to myself! I guess I just didn`t have enough bandwidth to deal with the new terminology.
