What We Talk About
When We Talk About Business
“...frontend optimization
for media platforms...”
It’s 7pm on a rainy Monday
a drizzle like hot oil
on the slick asphalt
picks up
reflections of neon
and it’s not Paris
but it’s close
“...full stack back end engineering...”
I move to a different table
they speak quietly
but what they’re saying
seeps in
everywhere.
-- Kaamran Hafeez
Commercialese, or corporate speak, is the jargon used in large corporations, bureaucracies, and similar workplaces to make meaning and intention opaque and understanding difficult by inducing tedium and avoiding claritythrough the use of long, complicated, or obscure words, abbreviations, euphemisms, and acronyms.
