Worst new buzzword

This week a vendor tried to sneak the word “Weblications” past one of our colleagues in a meeting.

Web + applications = horrible new term.

When our colleague protested, as in “Eww, you gotta be kidding me!”, the vendor said he heard it somewhere else. Oh, sure, if we thought it was brilliant we’re sure it was all his doing. C’mon, if you’re gonna try to float something bad, at least own it.

Just say no.
