I like it when these middle-managers get their business-speak metaphors & analogies muddled-up mid-spiel. I was at a meeting this morning and although I've become immune to the word 'pro-active' and 'pro-actively engaged' at this stage I gave out a derisive snort as our beloved leader talked about getting on the rocket and taking a helicopter view of the situation before pro-actively putting the baby to bed.

The man's an idiot.

An old manager of John-out-of-Stoat used to use idioms incorrectly. One of his favourites was "take a raincheck" by which he meant "check". Instead of amusing his underlings this infuriated them. Shame

I dislike the use of "obtuse" when someone means "abstruse".

I'll get over it though.

Perhaps you are just hoping they are calling you abstruse?
