Essential vocabulary additions for the workplace

Who really is the author of this vocabulary?

Google lists over 9,000 pages on the Net containing this list of words. Like every other popular Net entry it’s very hard to trace down to the first time this list was ever posted on the Net. The earliest I could find is 7. http://www.aliraqi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11667 Posted 6.18.02.

The moral quandary of every Net user faced with something like this ubiquitous Net humor is who to credit as the real author. I think the best balm to one’s conscience is to cite the exact source from where he/she got the thing. If it was passed to you as an email, then say so. Or if you accessed it from some website, cite the URL.

One will never be suspected of plagiarism or stealing someone else’s ideas if one takes the extra effort to cite one’s source. It takes just a fraction of a second to do it.

Hi sonnie,

most appropriate definitions , there is one more catogory , the preacher, who always preach his staff about how they are misusing companies money, how they are wasting company\’s precious time not doing anything constructive , cajoling the staff to work on extra time as they should be thankful to the company because it\’s providing them the livelihood. later on one fine morning every body finds out, it is him who was misusing company\’s fund, all the time he was preaching doing nothing & on company\’s expenses making family tours. Beware of this preachers class.

thanks
