Words

I have to admit I have one of the nicest and most down to earth senior colleagues at work. A very nice person to work with. But something does annoy me about this individual.

This particular individual, Mr. J as we will call him, is using different "buzz" words daily and it seems he adapts it to every situation we go through, throughout the day, be it at meetings, work related issues, or just plain common talk. A less intelligible person might think that he/she is talking to a wordsmith, but I beg to differ.

Take for example the world "emancipate". Mr. J will then take that word and somehow use it in every conversation he has in the day, even if it really doesn't need to be used in the conversation.

So it will be like, "I will try to emancipate you guys from the issues we are facing" to "Emancipation of our team from this tedious exercise is a trivial matter" and then, "Do you feel emancipated from the situation?".

I don't know if he is looking at a "Words of the Day" calendar or diary, but it seems to be a daily occurrence. It's like a little kid with a new toy showing off his new find to the people he knows.

Hmmmmmm.....I have to admit....I'm waiting on the word which will be featured for tomorrow.
