This is the sort of thing I was talking about (before, that is, Big Brother locked the thread).

Interesting article Geoff.

Good point Geoff. There seems to be a trend within government run establishments to use "baboon speak" as if to show that it is more intellectual!!?? Also the use of acronyms is definitely on the rise, KWIM!!!!

Here's some more:-

Imagination at work ... not a bad slogan for an imaging company, I suppose.

Evolutionizing the acute point of care ... I give up!

Because you care ... doesn't everybody?

Saving lives worldwide ... very imaginative!

Does anyone have any more they would like to add to the list?

This is my favorite - An American politician when being interviewed on ABC news was asked about her views on Iraq, quote "Its a success that has not happened yet".

I have no idea what that means!

DW - Still trying to work out whats going on.

As the Government of the United Kingdom is now mostly Scottish it may be baboon speak to some or it might be this - A language all to their owm those Scots!

DW - William Wallace's Tartan Army!

Yeah, wasn't there another classic a few years ago (on the same topic, namely Iraq), something like:-

"There are known unknowns, and unknown unknowns"!

No further comment!

Another cracker from our "cousins" across the pond! A REME MDSS technician on E.D.O.C.S course in the states during lunch in the Sergeants Mess:

American Soldier: "I am really glad you guys are on our side when we invade Iran"

REME Soldier: "We are not going to Iran - we are going to Iraq"

American Soldier: "What's the differance?"

You have to love them! - - - - NOT!

DW - Still on the Daftside

Actually, Mate ... Baboon Speak, and just plain dumb are two different things entirely!

But I'll bet that the REME bloke got good grub over there, all the same.

So true Geoff - but i had to put it on here!

All the Best - DW
