A friend sent me this, she found an old article that her father had.  She didn’t know when it was published, there was no date, but had to be a while ago, there’s no mention of electronics.  She also doesn’t know the name of the publication, but whenever it was, it’s still so valid today.  

I’ve heard a few of these come out of the mouths of politicians recently:

Daffy definitions as the ammunition to deflate fuzzy words and phrases:

• It’s in process — so wrapped up in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless.
• We’ll look into it — by the time the wheel makes a full turn, we assume that you’ll have forgotten about it too.
• Program — any assignment that can’t be completed by one phone call.
• Expedite — to confound confusion with commotion.
• Coordinator — the guy who has a desk between two expediters. 
• Consultant (or Expert) — any ordinary guy with a briefcase more than 50 miles away from home.
• Meeting — a mass mulling by masterminds.
• Conferences — a place where conversation is substituted for the dreariness of labor and the loneliness of thought.
• Negotiate — to seek a meeting of minds without a knocking together of heads.
• Reliable source — the guy you just met.
• Informed source — the guy who told the guy you just met.
• Unimpeachable source — the guy who started the rumor originally.
• Clarification — to fill in the background with so many details that the foreground goes underground.
• We will advise you in due course — if we figure it out, we’ll let you know.
• Let’s get together on this — I’m assuming you’re as confused as I am.
• Forwarded for your consideration — you hold the bag awhile.
