Smary Scaramucci Already Making Stomachs Churn With His Euphemistic Biz-speak

Quitting because you're pissed(Spicer)? Making life choices.

President has really good karma = he will win on healthcare.

Will you commit to returning to televised news conferences? Maybe.

"Fake news? There's media bias out there. We want to de-escalate that." De-escalte? Who talks like that?

Glad he isn't the person who will be up there every day.

When he criticized Trump as a hack two years ago he was "unexperienced"

As it says on Quora it is not necessarily an improper word but

Nearly all uses of "unexperienced" are synonymous with "inexperienced", but are deprecated. You know what it means, but the use of a nonstandard word marks the speaker as not knowledgable.

Illegal voters. When he looks into this issue (that appears to be one he's never even heard of) and has a chance to talk to the maggot about it he's sure to find there is truth in it.

Bleeeech!

Jesus fucking tap-dancing Christ! Can't The Mooch come up with something original?

Anyone who has worked in a largeish business hears that kind of crap all the time. Yeah, the boss worked "with us" on that non-successful thing over here. That successful thing over there? Yeah, that was HIS baby!

The evolution of corporate speak in a nutshell: they used to fire people. Then, they laid off people. Then, they needed to restructure things. Then - the ultimate stomach turner - they needed to "right size" things.

You weren't fired a month short of qualifying for your pension. We simply right sized the corporation. I guess that means your job was "wrong" for the company at some point...but if that's true, why did they replace you with a younger, inexperienced worker at a third of your salary to do the same job?

One thing you can be sure of: whether you were right sized out of a job or laid off or whatever. When the brass gets together for drinks and cigars after hours, they get a chuckle out of hearing how your boss "fired his (your) ass" earlier in the day.
