I hate it when suits use buzz words and phrases. The ones that were popular (and really used in a nearly meaningless manner) when I left the corporate world was "synchronicity" and "a good fit."

If you like your job, then I hope that it just means they are giving you something entirely new to do.
Thanks for the thoughts Ricky.

I certainly don't work in a theatre company (nothing like that interesting).

Buzz words are a pet hate of mine as well. In a meeting last week, somebody actually said (and I quote from memory here), "Let's take that on board and solutionize to a positive outcome" - I nearly choked! My boss (otherwise a good guy and one I get on well with) is absolutely fluent in BS and has been known to use phrases like "leverage our synergies" with a straight face. I have kind of appointed myself the team's resident BS detector and take great delight in pointing out to him when he's slipped into BS mode.
