The question what exactly defines "native look and feel" never gets awnsered

If you've done some project that involved "Meaningful use". Your project manager,"Bless their heart", is such a "great" person.

I still haven't figured out what that means.

"Engaging" is a buzzword for the Marketing people around me. "It needs to be engaging"... okay, so, explain what you mean by "engaging".
..their definition changes every time I ask them to define "engaging".. and believe me, they like to throw that word around a lot.
If you don't succeed, redefine success!

It actually is not even a word, more a 'buzz syllable': App
'App' is very similar to the sound I make when punched with a fist, but obviously some marketing guys came to the conclusion that we all are only able to communicate with grunts and would not understand anything with more than one syllable. Anyway, I wonder how popular this 'word' is going to be when the gold rush finally is over.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

Some people at my company are considering Liferay as a possible replacement for SharePoint and Umbraco. Wanting to learn more about it, I came across that page, and here are a few nuggets I found:
Quote: Liferay Portal is an enterprise web platform for building business solutions that deliver immediate results and long-term value.
I know I like "long-term value" and "immediate results" when "building business solutions". Sounds like a useful "enterprise web platform".
Quote: Start Delivering Value Today
Why, just the other day I was talking about delivering value. I can't wait!

WTF is 'Action'! What happened to 'Do'? Does management have nothing better to 'action' with their time than think up punchy alternatives to acceptable English?

1. think outside the box (16%)
2. circle back (15%)
3. synergy (14%)
4. it is what it is (13%)
5. touch base (13%)
So let's get outside the tent and back peddle to get it on as that's just touching cloth.

I read this in a Quarterly Update email sent out by a particular telephony company. I think it adequately states what I'm rarely thinking:
"We are aligning around a single 'Technology Partner' designation that is more indicative of our co-marketing relationship..."

At my previous employment my boss had promised a raise and after the time came and still no raise I emailed and asked about it. A small portion of his response was "we are making minimal adjustments among managers to create additional parity." That was his way of saying, yes, your pay raise will be on the next pay check.
He was so good at using so many words and never actually saying anything.

Just saw a former employer post an ad for this position. Sounds like a dream job if you like sitting there all day and twiddling your thumbs! No coding involved! Scrum meetings lasted 5 minutes per day when I was there, and we never needed a dedicated "master."

buzzword by marketing guru's to trick simpletons new on the web into buying far too expensive services (cloud: originating from the fact that the internet used to be represented in slides and presentations as a little cloud) - e.g. check amazons AWS site at http://aws.amazon.com/[^] and read and weep at the incomprehensible mambojambo to get sites up and running at ridiculous prices
nevertheless if you're not into the cloud you must be....

Somebody at my company said in a meeting that he devised a plan that "leverages the synergies" of two departments. There were so many phrases like this uttered that my mind eventually turned off and this was all I could remember.

"we also need to develop new and compelling alternatives to prevent non-traditional competitors from disintermediating us and commoditizing our value proposition in the future"
Yeah, that's what we need.

There is an idea called "plus one". If you do just one extra thing (a day, a week, whatever), you will get more done than the competition, and you will overcome them. In an email from the president of the company, this phrase was uttered:
Company President wrote: "Plus 1" will be our force-multiplier.
There you go, folks, two buzzwords in one post. That's my plus one for the day.

No it is not.
Figure out which one is it and let me know; then I'll consider your product.
