    Default Weaselwords

    Have a look at this site, I now know where our Politicians and Captains of Industry get those wonderful incomprehensible phrases from!:eek:
    http://s8.invisionfree.com/weaselwor...ex.php?act=idx

    Example of Weasel words
    We no longer learn lessons but share learnings eg

    Q "What were the learnings from the high level, cross functional, utilisation review?"

    A: "They were very experiential. We need to lock in a time at which we can all share them and ensure everyone in on board, going forward."

    Translated:
    I punched his lights out...that really helped him share the learnings

    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

    In a hospital a fall was described as
    'a sudden change in direction from the vertical resulting in contact with the floor or some similar hard surface and possibly causing injury'
