: Amidst "moving
forward" and "adding value", a new term has crept into the workplace jargon (at
least here in the midwestern US) - "socializing". This is used when special arrangement
or consideration needs to be finagled, as in: "We'll have to push our dates out
a week. I'll socialize that with management."
: I think I'll buy a lottery ticket
on the way home...
Because we are all, of course, "socialized" to believe that
it is okay to "-ize" people rather than discuss, inform or debate with them. What
next, "transitionize"?
