About The Buzzword Dictionary
Pompous
jargon pervades English these days, from corporate speak to silly
legalisms. This lighthearted look at how English is being mangled
reveals the underlying meaning, as well as the attitudes behind
the meaning, of more than 1,000 buzzwords. Readers will discover
that "learning opportunity" is a nice way of saying "mistake;" a
"lawn mullet" is a yard that's neatly trimmed out front but
growing long in the back; and a "meanderthal" is someone who has
a hard time getting to the point when telling a story.
Accompanied by 15 illustrated cartoons, this comical look at
language shows how combining words can give way to new meanings.
