Many moons ago, I was involved in a Training Panel for Community Education. During a residential weekend for would-be Youth Workers, the groups of trainees were "working independently" This means the training team had found a good excuse for doing nothing. Somebody came up with an idea for a "Jargoniser"!

At it's simplest, this was three columns, the first, adverbs, the second, adjectives and the third, nouns. You simply take any word from each column and use them together as if you knew what you were talking about!

We used to throw these into lectures and watch for the listeners who would nod sagely as if they understood.

The phrase "Transactionally exocentric parameters" comes to mind!

Guaranteed to impress!
