Jargon Poisoning






















Wednesday’s Dilbert cartoon is titled Jargon Poisoning. In the first frame someone said:
“Let’s plan a huddle to ideate around that opportunity.”
Dilbert replied:
“Gaaa! I have jargon poisoning!”

Thurssday’s cartoon titled Jargon Canceling Headphones prescribed a solution – headphones which translated jargon into normal words. But nothing came out of them for:
“Let’s stay in our swim lane while the tiger team gets buy-in on the verticals.”

Presumably the translation process would use a dictionary like Lucy Kellaway’s Guffipedia, which I blogged about on December 16, 2015 in a post titled Jargon and guff.

An image of a Death Skull came from Wikimedia Commons.
