At the root of corporate lingo

Check out this “corporate speak glossary” at Portfolio.com, compiled by Caroline Waxler, who burrows down to the underlying meaning of some popular business buzz phrases, such as:

“Assign ownership  -- To dump responsibility on someone else as quickly as possible.”

“Low-hanging fruit  -- The part of a project your boss completes before handing it over to you.”

“Upsell  -- To peddle expensive add-ons to an otherwise useful but inexpensive product.”

Just gotta love the corporate lingo. Great post to help us chuckle a little bit more:-)
