Re:LinkedIn Says Most Overused Buzzwords Are... on Tuesday December 14, 2010 @11:42AM (#2004701)

I am shocked that "value" or "value add" didn't appear on this list. Everyday, I hear someone talk about how they "added value" or the need to be "value add" and each time I hear this I throw up in my mouth a little bit. It has gotten so out of hand that, for fun, I keep a sticky note on my desk and keep tally of how many buzzwords get used by my colleagues each day. Some fun facts from the sticky note:

Newest addition: "arrow in our quiver"

Most frequent sports analogy: "utility infielder"

Second most frequent sports analogy: to "tee up"
