Business Buzzword Bingo

In the memory of the late Herbert Bonnabee, we've compiled a number of phrases that used to drive the man up a wall whenever he heard them used by staff while conducting business.

A classic entrepreneur and businessman with big ideas and ideals to go with them as he pushed for a grander future in Grind City and the world at large, Herbert Bonnabee had little patience for buzzwords. He felt most buzzwords were crass affronts to the sort of articulate command of the English language he without exception expected from his staff.

At the end of the day, Herbert Bonnabee chiefly appreciated folks who said as little as possible, and who meant every word they said.
