Fox Guards Henhouse
Anyone who thinks for a living has been plagued by "business talk." "Synergy", "leverage", "touch base", etc. They're weapons in the hand of consultants, and can be shields for the stupid. More than anything, they're shibboleths, a substitute for real thinking. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu helped create this golem, but now they've seen the error of their ways. To aid in the battle against handwaving, they're released a piece of free software: Bullfighter. It analyzes documents for these bullshit words, and ranks them accordingly. Oh! Those bandy-legged roustabouts! They're in touch with my inner Dilbert! They understand what's it's like here in the trenches! They sympathize with me! They're here to help. Physician, heal thyself.

Dear me that was rich. So the fine folks of Toilet and Douche, makers of the "E-differentiated supply chain" (W...T...F?) wanna help a poor endenture slob (coiners of the eEconomy, or as my friend Steve likes to say, the eeeeeeeeeconomy) like me stop saying consultantnese? rich rich rich. |
