As anyone who knows me well can tell you I'm not the most tolerent of people, and there are some things that just raise my anger to levels which the English language just does not have words to describe.
Pretty high on the list is people who try to pretend that they are experts because they have learned the jargon without somehow managing to learn what it actually means or even realising just how foolish they manage to make themselves sound.
Take Bobo the Totally Fucking Insane Clown from the Really Scary Circus as a prime example - he was forever "running things up the flagpole to see who saluted whilst all singing from the same hymnsheet" all very impressive no doubt if said in the middle of a tense boardroom meeting whilst negotiating a hostile take-over bid - alas not so impressive when it was used in the context of providing sandwiches for a service users' group meeting. My opinion of him is definitely a rubber number (varies dependent on who you're telling).
Another prime example of the three B's (Bullshit Baffles Brains) is Christopher the Performing Cockroach - goes to college - gets told about a theory of social work - then quotes the author extensively when discussing anything from mental health therapy to buying a present for his daughter's birthday - again taking everything as far out of context as is insectically (cockroaches aren't human - jargon's simple innit?) possible.
The other ting with this is that in my experience the morons who use this jargon are generally severely incompetent, promoted far way beyond their ability, hold vaguely socialist views and are so politically correct they are in danger of vanishing up their own sphincters (or should that be solid waste excreting orifice?).
That's enough for now - more during the next diurnal variation!
