Acronyms in work or generally really

My mate got pissed at a sales meeting (we work for a v large multinational).

The european sales manager had been talking for ages about sales tecniques, it was just a stream of TLA's. It was bullshit. eventually he asked the audience if they had any techniques to share. My pissed mate stands up and says he has had a lot of success using the SMS technique. The manager picks up his pad and pen and ready to take notes. Whats the SMS technique he asks. My mate say its the Sell More Stuff technique and sits down.
 
Before I retired whenever I was at a meeting I asked what they meant even if I knew.

Disarm the bastards who think they are clever.

I do that as well, especially when it is in the papers that have been distributed to the meeting. Now they type all the words. In Education there are new ones every day it seems.
