2 whyuhhhhhhhhhh So last week, | noticed my coworker kept saying weird phrases In meetings. Stuff like: “We'll take this to the synergy zone.” “Let’s triangle back on that” “Put that in the idea fridge.” No one reacted. Everyone just nodded like it was normal. | figured it was some corporate lingo | missed. Day two, | hear: “We'll verticalize that bandwidth.” | write it down to Google later. Nothing. By day three, I'm starting to use them, too. “Yeah, we should put that in the idea fridge.” People nodded. | felt included. Friday rolls around. He pulls me aside and goes: “I've been making them all up. No one knows what they mean.” HE GOT THE ENTIRE TEAM SAYING NONSENSE. Even the manager threw out “triangle back” In a call. Now the whole office is trapped In fake jargon with no way out. | respect it. | fear it.
