office-ese

pronounced like other foreign languages - chinese, japanese, office-ese. pronounced - office "ease".

description - the cliche, usually trendy language spoken by corporate office / executive types to make themselves seem more intelligent / important than they are, or so busy, or just cool / "in the know" amongst their corporate world colleagues, etc.

examples of cliche words / phrases- Having said that, if you will, essentially, so to speak, others - dude, I wish I could help you, but i'm totally slammed / swamped / jammed. "Thank you / Thanks so much", although never spoken in a way that feels really sincere at all.

I wish she would stop speaking office-ese, she's so annoying.

OMG I really wish Brad would chill (stop) with the office-ese. It's totally annoying.

anthrax post office

The New Jersey post office that handled anthrax-laced letters reopened Monday morning, nearly 3 1/2 years after the deadly mailings that further heightened the nation's fears in the weeks after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

The post office was closed on Oct. 18, 2001, after NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, two U.S. senators and the offices of the New York Post received anthrax-laced letters that went through Hamilton.
