The New Doublespeak
In The New Doublespeak: Why No One Knows What Anyone's Saying Anymore, author William Lutz defines a few of the more creative doublespeak terms currently in vogue:
Meaningful downturn in aggregate output (recession)
After-sales service (kickback)
Resource development park (trash dump)
Temporarily displaced inventory (stolen goods)
Strategic misrepresentation (lie)
Reality augmentation (lie)
Terminological inexactitude (lie).
