This article on Language Log refers to the cliché "low hanging fruit" and its use in managementspeak. However, I was particularly amused by this paragraph:
quote:
The "marketing types" here at Penn are Wharton students, whose level of technical understanding is second to few, I think. (Though I certainly recall from my years in industry that developers viewed "marketing types" as being an especially clueless subspecies of "suits", less actively evil than finance types, but stupider. I'm sure that the feelings were reciprocated, mutatis mutandis.)

I think he forgot lawyer types as well ( pace shu). Smile


Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
