50 office-speak phrases you love to hate

The BBC has the 50 office-speak phrases you love to hate.

My favorite one comes from a former customer of mine from L.A.  They referred to any problems as “opportunities.”  So I’d get a call saying something like, “I have some opportunities that I’d like to discuss with you,” when what he really meant was, “our server has crashed and we’re losing $5 million an hour.” 

Oh well, I guess it made them feel better.
