Have they ever had an abbreviation for something, and then later change it to mean something else? Keep the abbreviation, but change what it stands for even though it means the same thing?

We have some software that's been in development for ever. Still in development actually. Supposed to go online at the end of March, but they say that every quarter. They keep changing the name of it for some reason. A couple of the names were V6, and P2P. Yes, P2P. Now it's KaluCAD.

Yeah
- Actionable
- opportunity (for problem)

I can't think of any more at the moment. I will have some after I hear my manager talk when I go back to work on Tueday.

If your office is anything like mine, there's a shit-ton of buzz words that just sound retarded -- and the suits actually think they're being clever when they use them. What are some you hear and hate?

- Grab the low-hanging fruit
- 10,000 foot perspective
- elephants (as in, large things to overcome)
- web 2.0 (this is just plain stupid)
- issues, challenges, and any other way to say "problem" without saying the word "problem"
