On Comyn Ground

When words lose their meaning.


Listen Later

Going forward, with low hanging fruit, blue-sky thinking, taking things offline  - boiling the ocean and giving it one hundred and ten per cent.  You've heard them all, that meaningless guff that some people use to make themselves sound like they possess a fluency in corporate-speak that makes them feel like they belong.

Jargon is infectious, someone uses a phrase at a meeting, someone else likes the sound of it, and it spreads like a virus, and no amount of hand washing will stop it in its tracks.  

What harm does it do you might ask?  Most likely little other than making the user of these lame phrases sound unoriginal.  Words lose their value through repetition and misuse. The two I am most concerned about are Resilience and Empathy.
