Management speak
| We will control what you think with |
| Here's how we do it |
Management speak is a method of concealing ignorance by using large words which other people aren't able to understand. It is often used in board meetings and presentations, and is also used by politicians who want to a) pretend they know what they're talking about or b) want people to zone out so they can slip in something controversial without anyone noticing or c) just feel special. It is sometimes known as "jargon", although most commonly, jargon is just a collection of specialized terms of art, and isn't used primarily by bullshitters.
The words utilize (use) and paradigm (theoretical framework) crop up often. Blue sky thinking and pushing the envelope are often-utilized strategies for facilitating the reinvention of interactive paradigms.
"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."
