Satanic net neologisms - nominations invited

What's the most hideous bastard spawn of cyberspace?

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

So popular has our "top net neologism" poll proved that we're now bowing to reader pressure and inviting submissions for the "most repulsive bastard spawn of cyberspace" - words so hideous in their aspect that they cause lovers of the English language to vent steam through both ears while firing up the Twat-O-Tron.

Regulars know the drill: Fire your nominations to me here, or post 'em as a comment to this story. We'll subject the top 20 or so to a public vote in a couple of weeks.

To get you started, try this: Webinar. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm just off to slap the fucktard who invented that gem. Back later. ®

Low hanging fruit is the new quick win

I can't believe no-one's yet mentioned "low hanging fruit", meaning easy stuff. I was compelled to write it down when I first heard it (many, many times) in a presentation from some marketing tart.

My latest verbal irritant is the politicians' current favourite (or "mot de jour", if you will): "in the round".

Paris because she's an easy bit of stuff.
