I’m aware, but this phrase seems to be more meaningless corporate-speak than regional dialect or variation. The only purpose of phrases like this is to make the speaker sound smart at the cost of obfuscating what they mean.
- Kye 3y agoHow is it obfuscated? The meaning is perfectly clear in context. You're stretching too much for this lift.

- fuzztester 3y agoObfuscating is an easy word to understand. Only 11 letters. You, sir, are phantasmagorical. (16)
- angoragoats 3y agoI’m not against using big words when they’re used according to their actual accepted meaning. But take my upvote regardless :)
