Nothing that Watson learned from the Urban Dictionary could possibly be any dirtier than what I hear from enterprise people all the time:
"We use our deep subject matter expertise to deliver value through actionable advice that enables our clients to harness the power of best practices in order to shift their paradigms and achieve 10X deltas against competitive industry metrics."
- callmeed 14y agoThat's in Urban Dictionary too ... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=synergasm http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=synergasm ;)
- IheartApplesDix 14y agoYeah baby, talk dirty to me.
- benohear 14y agoThe worst thing is that translated into normal speak that's actually a reasonable sounding proposition: "We use our experience in this field to provide practical advice to our clients which helps them improve their way of doing business and ROFL-stomp their competition 10x over."
- dasil003 14y agoIs roflstomp just an everyday verb now?
- toomuchtodo 14y agoApparently so: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=roflstomp http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=roflstomp
- snogglethorpe 14y agoThe meaning of roflstomp seems obvious enough... but how to pronounce it... (rhyming with "waffle stomp"?)
- dmoney 14y agoI've heard it pronounced as rhyming with woeful-stomp.
- CapitalistCartr 14y agoROFL-stomp? That's a new one on me.
- saraid216 14y agoIt's like curb-stomping, except with schadenfreude.

- anonymous 14y agoYou forgot to mention they also leverage synergies (please excuse my P.H.B.-ese)
- mbesto 14y agoYou forgot a "Lower TCO" in there somewhere...
- nnnnni 14y agoWATCH YOUR LANGUAGE, THIS IS A FAMILY SITE!
- bguthrie 14y agoEh. Every field has its jargon. Techies who mock business lingo live in exceedingly fragile glass houses.
- gnaritas 14y agoTechie jargon is generally meant to enhance communication, while biz jargon is meant to baffle the listener with bullshit. Huge difference.
- stingraycharles 14y agoI think you're confusing biz jargon with marketing. Tech jargon suffers from marketing too; it's just that we're used to so much more "meaningful" jargon that we see that the bullshit ratio is actually pretty low. The same can be said about business jargon, it's just that we don't hear the meaningful jargon a lot. Want to guess how much meaningful tech jargon the average MBA hears? Probably not a lot more than we hear about his world.
- darkxanthos 14y agoA great example is "cloud" or "web scale" etc.
- blhack 14y agoWeb scale is a bizdev marketing term. Cloud means stored online instead of locally.
- pinchyfingers 14y ago"growth hacking"
- path411 14y agoThese actually have true meanings as Tech jargon. Biz/Marketing love to abuse buzzwords though.
