Have a look at this site, I now know where our Politicians and Captains of Industry get those wonderful incomprehensible phrases from!:eek:

Example of Weasel words
We no longer learn lessons but share learnings eg

Q "What were the learnings from the high level, cross functional, utilisation review?"

A: "They were very experiential. We need to lock in a time at which we can all share them and ensure everyone in on board, going forward."

Translated:
I punched his lights out...that really helped him share the learnings

In a hospital a fall was described as
'a sudden change in direction from the vertical resulting in contact with the floor or some similar hard surface and possibly causing injury'
