A bit of fun for Friday!
Some of you may know I'm part way through a course (more to follow once I pass). The last module talked about business jargon, and how it should be avoided unless it’s absolutely necessary. I'll admit, I spent far too much time laughing at some of the example given!
Here’s a few of the ones that amused me the most.

Do you know what they mean? And what is your favourite, or least favourite, business term?

Had to spend a few days working at a client office in London and came across a few shockers.
I have to say I thought 'aldesko' was a word conjured up specifically for an ad, until I heard it being spoken in real time. "Are you going out for lunch mate?" "Nah Pete, it's aldesko for me today I'm afraid"
Wow.
That was another one on the list that I chuckled at. I've never actually heard it said by any one in real life though!
These are shockers! Are you sure they're not just mis-spellings of normal words??
You would think that wouldn't you! It's almost a different language in itself.
I have no clue what any of these mean! haha
I'll give it a few days and then put you out of your misery :-)
Hahahaha so funny I have no clue what these mean. But I agree avoiding jargons so it helps our audience and people dealing with us.
Definitely better to keep things simple and straight forward!
