MBA-speak

MBA-speak. You know, the jargon that many people learn in B-School and then inflict upon the rest of us: it isn't "supplies" it is Allocation and Replenishment Management.....and "collaboration" gets distended into "interoperate with supply chain partners and break down functional silos..."....gee, and I thought it meant collaborate!

This slang has even infiltrated our DAYCARES!

Case in point: yesterday, Monkey took the lunch boxes and stacked them like blocks. So, in her daily report from her wonderful Montessori, they wrote that she was "thinking outside the box."

I think they meant that she was being creative, but that's just my WAG.
