Ok, I'm officially tired of hearing the word transparent.

Everyone is using this word to describe how the management of a given task has to be, whether its private business, public business or even team meetings within my company. enough is enough.

Any other buzzwords that are getting overused or you're sick of hearing?

[mattyb]

Buzzword, can't STAND that word.

[Spheric Harlot]

"free"

[Dakar V]

Can't say I'm fond of "Web 2.0"

[turtle777]

"Challenge" as a euphemism for a problem / FUBAR situations / clusterfark.

[Salty]

Customer... I'd much rather we just call them idiots...

[Dakar V]

I C WAT U DID THAR

[osiris]

"hoot", as in "That comedian is a real hoot."

[Thorzdad]

"Perfect Storm"

I swear to god, every time I hear some idiot newscaster/politician/talking head/fry cook call some situation a "perfect storm" of whatever, I want to strangle them.

It's more of a buzz sentence fragment, and I hate it.

[andi*pandi]

"proactive"

"design challenge" being used to describe bad bad ideas. As in, "Do you think it's a good idea to cram these 40 things on this page?" "That's your design challenge."

[Atheist]

paradigm

[seanc]

"Boom"............... *RUNS*

[waxcrash]

Can't stand the word, "solution." I work in advertise/design/marketing and every meeting I'm in, there is always the idiot that brings up the mantra, "We aren't selling a product or service, we're selling a solution, man."

I work in the "solutions" group at our organization.

[Spheric Harlot]

[osiris]

bleeding edge

earth shattering

[Jawbone54]

Economic meltdown.

"We’re working hard to transform the PC and Microsoft buying experience at retail by improving the articulation and demonstration of the Microsoft innovation and value proposition so that it’s clear, simple and straightforward for consumers everywhere."

[osiris]

"Microsoft"

[residentEvil]

bailout, reform, tax "break" or "credit"

That's by far one of my favorite terms, too.

I'd love to see this word disappear, but given the current situation, we'll be hearing this for a while

2. Buying experience
3. Articulation
4. Value proposition

Did I miss any other major buzzwords in that sentence?

[dzp111]

Unprecedented

Seriously, I hear that word (due to economy) more than 3 times a day (I watch a lot news). Used to be worse. I used to hear it 5 or more times on a daily basis.

Unprecedented times..
Unprecedented circumstances...
Unprecedented economic period...
Unprecedented situation...
Unprecedented course of action...
Unprecedented reaction..

etc.

[Andrew Stephens]

"moving on"

as in "it's more important that we move on"

Normally said by politicians, but recently adopted by bank ceo's.

Meaning: "I f**ked up, you know I f**ked up and I know I f**cked up. In fact everybody knows I f**ked up. And real bad too. However I have no intention of admitting any blame whatsoever and you can't make me."

[Andrew Stephens]

worst case scenario

fairly dire set of circumstances that occur just before things get much much worse.

[Andrew Stephens]

ubiquitous is everywhere (pun intended), it has crossed the ephemeral line where obscurity morphs into errr… ubiquity.

[Salty]

I sell cell phones, I'm really sick of the phrase value proposition.

Actually in general I'm kinda sick of the word value. It's used to make cheap people think they're getting a lot. Like when you throw call display in a value pack we stop charging you 8 bucks for it.

[exca1ibur]

[Hg2491]

Never mind and that makes no sense.
