I'll socialise you!

For my sins, I work for a large multinational in Ireland. One thing that has really started to grate on me lately is the way language is used around the place. I think many people are familiar with Buzzword/Bullshit Bingo, a concept originally coined by a graduating class of MIT students during an Al Gore speech, however recently I've been hearing new candidates for the Bullshit Bingo card:

Revert, as in:
"When you have finished reviewing the document, please revert"

Socialise, used in a meeting if key decision makers are absent:
"We'll go ahead with decision A and socialise it after the meeting"

Arghhh, somebody make the madness stop!

Any other examples readers?
