Buzzkill--Buzzwords
When people say they’ve "learned to think outside the box”
and want to share their innovative thoughts with me,
I don’t speak up; I don’t like being one who mocks.
They fail to see the situation’s irony!
That phrase is NOT a sign of creativity.
How quickly catchy metaphors become clichés!
The most used buzzwords make some sigh and roll their eyes.
It’s easier to use one than create a phrase
that’s fresh and more expressive. Here’s advice that’s wise:
Leave buzzwords IN the box and hope the whole lot dies.
