I'll pea this:
Those of you that have to tolerate buzzwords in meetings, I suggest making up your own. Especially as they will have no idea what you mean by them.

Extra points if you can get them using the phrases. I'm going to start the ball rolling with these:

"We need to squeeze the teabag and add the milk"
"the party-baloons are deflating as we speak"
"Apply the cream and see what stings"
"Light the blue-touch paper and retreat"
"We need to see if Cheggers does indeed play pop."

And saving the best until last:
"Blue-bin thinking" (recycling same old trash). You may need to change the blue to whatever colour your recyclables bin is.

I used to write for a Knowledge Management website.
This was, in essence, all we did all day. The editor would buy a pint for the first word to come back in a discussion each day.

I think the quickest was the term "intraresourcing".
