Bespoke is what British people say instead of tailored. I work with Brits. It’s not jargon to them.

Hopefully, no one will find a way to turn “bespoke” into a verb.

It isn’t a buzzword. It’s just a British thing.

How are people mis-using "bespoke"? It normally means "customized for some specific use" or something to that effect.

People actually say "solutioning"? That is just awful.

onboarding to mean "new hire orientation"
offboarding to mean "firing or quitting"
showstopper to mean "deal-breaker"
pivot
uptick
leverage (when used as a verb)
webinar
impact to mean "to have an effect upon"
"lean in" to mean "pursue enthusiastically"

There are so many of these awful buzzwords.

You (or ChatGPT) forgot to include two that happen to be particularly nerve grating - “the ask” and “solutioning” used as a verb (even autocorrect doesn’t like it!).


I hate solutioning. Worst word ever.
