Rising to new heights (or depths) in Buzzword Bingo

I had a sales manager actually send me an e-mail that contained the following phrase (on something that has nothing to do with geology):

… articulate a cohesive picture of our tectonic platform and roadmap with respect to the various solution sets …

I think he was being paid by the word.  Or the syllable.

Of course, this guy also uses “front-end” as a verb, hyphenates “follow-up” as a verb, and loves the verb “leverage” for “make use of.”

Ooh, I haaaaaate it when people hyphenate verb/preposition combos! “You can pick-up your item…” Gah!

Maybe you should reply with an email that’s 90% TLAs.

Eventually language will be a complete impediment to understanding (I think I got that from Calvin and Hobbes).
