On another note, a new bit of business-speak has been pissing me off lately. It seems to be very popular with the people on the board of directors I'm sitting on: whenever there's an issue or point that needs to be addressed between two or three people, and not the entire board, someone ultimately says `Let's address this offline'. What the fuck? Offline? When did `offline' become shorthand for `howza-bout we don't waste everyone's time, and deal with this privately after the meeting adjourns?'? Stupid inappropriate word choice - that's really the biggest pisser with business-speak, is how a weak metaphor is turned into concrete descriptors. Sigh.
