Top 20 Worst Business Buzzwords

I came across a list of the “Top 20 Most Hated Business Speak phrases” in the UK. It seems that annoying buzzwords refuse to be constrained by borders or oceans.

The following are ranked in order of the most annoying, based on a survey conducted by YouGov.co.uk and commissioned by Ramada Encore.

1. Thinking outside of the box
2. Touch base
3. At the end of the day
4. Going forward
5. All of it
6. Blue sky thinking
7. Out of the box
8. Credit crunch
9. Heads up
10. Singing from the same hymn sheet
11. Pro-active
12. Downsizing
13. Ducks in a row
14. Brainstorming
15. Thought shower
16. 360 degree thinking
17. Flag it up
18. Pushing the envelope
19. At this moment in time
20. In the loop

People really say “Singing from the same hymn sheet” in the UK?!

This all reminds me that I really enjoy working from home and rarely attending meetings where I am subjected to this buzzword bingo.

Affiliate marketing FTW!
