hellyer 216 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) JARGON GENERATOR At the risk of some negative learning it is possible to have some fun with this and hopefully reinforce the need to avoid long strings of complicated words. Think of any three digit number, then select the corresponding word from each column. For example, number 257 produces, “systematised logistical projection” a phrase that can be dropped into a report to give it a ring of decisive, knowledgeable authority. No one will have the faintest idea of what you are talking about. But they are not going to admit it. Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 0. integrated 0. management! 0. options 1. total 1. organisational! 1. flexibility 2. systematised 2. monitored 2. capability 3. parallel 3. reciprocal 3. mobility I have has six goes 4. functional 4. digital 4. programming 5. responsive! 5. logistical 5. concept 6. optional 6. transitional 6. time-phase 7. synchronised 7. incremental 7. projection 8. compatible 8. third-generation 8. hardware 9. balanced 9. policy 9. contingency Example Dear Sir: The integrated management concept is quite useful but will not create the desired functional reciprocal flexibility when offered in conjunction with a total transitional projection. Damn it!! I have had six goes at loading the table above but it just jumbles together every time after I load - help please SJ Admin I am not a drunken poster - at least not this time Edited May 18, 2012 by snowjunky Link to post Share on other sites
