Uptitling/Buzzwords
 
Picked up a "buzzword dictionary" (author John Walston) from the library, whole family is enjoying it (beest and my personal favorite "seagull manager" isn't in there under it's own entry, but other than that it's good......)

The ones that make us laugh the most, though are the "Up-titleing" ones. Like "pre-owned" and "previously enjoyed" for used....

here are some of my favorites, I decided to make it more fun by not including the real translation, but they're pretty easy.

Add your owrn, uptitle your own job etc... whatever... have fun....

>Repurposed Entrees
>Stock Replenishment Executive
>Shortfalls in Compliance
>Self-provision
>Percussive Maintenance
>Marital Rupture

How would you 'uptitle' "grave digger"?

Interment Assistance Agent? Biological Deposition Engineer?


"So, what do you do?"

"I'm in biological deposition."

First time I've heard this one. Thanks. This sort of gem is one of the reasons I hang out at the cellar.

digger < grave digger < "exceptionally grave digger" :D

I am rather grave sometimes, but, never exceptionally grave.:)
