Our company is being infiltrated with terms like "go forward plan" (do we have a go backwards plan too?), "moving forward", "enablers" (cost savings).

Does anyone else hate the fact that people won't say what they mean and seem to think that new words create motivated work places and excitement?

Acronyms are growing - one of our sites put a list of acronyms together (about 60 of them are in use)but forgot goodacronyms like FUBAR and WOFTAM.
