Oof, got sucked in to a webinar on... something.  Mobile Apps or mobile marketing or something.  Why do people think PowerPoints are effective/creative?  And enough with one slide after another filled with nothing but buzzwords.

Come on, you're in marketing....you know buzzwords are a necessity, just like describing cigars with every flavor of the rainbow.

Well, technically I'm in advertising.  Little bit different but nobody cares.

The problem is that everyone now just focuses on creating new buzzwords, and none of them have any meaning any more.  Or by the time they gain steam and DO have meaning, everyone's moved on to something else.  Just get tired of being pitched them all the time by the latest and greatest start up company who has revolutionized the way people use the internet!!!!!  Buzzword buzzword buzzword SALES! PROFIT! 

Hearing "social media" is like nails on a chalkboard.

I like buzzwords though.  I know in the first sentence whether someone is full of shit or not and whether I need to listen to anything they are saying.

You forgot to say "at the end of the day.."

paradigm shift, core competency, Buy-In, Swim lane, Empower, Drinking the Kool-aid, moving the needle, Tiger teams, Corporate values, Best Practices, Think outside the box, Leverage, Drill Down, Synergize, Take Offline, Peel the Onion....I could go on, but I think I'll just go take a dump instead...

Drinking Kool-aid and Tiger Teams, my dad loved using those on our ERP rollout...bringing back memories there.  Best Practices, what a joke...if it's the best, then fuckin do it!(morons) and Take Offline, our consultants love that, aka: stop blowing me up in this meeting and do it in private

hashtag, trending... sheesh.  Horse is almost dead, just a few more kicks...

Isn't that what you just did?

Well yea, but I meant a "value added" one.

Just my two cents on these... they don't work.  Best way to chill whiskey, should you so desire, is to just chill your glass.  Or a very small amount of ice. 

IMO, no offense, that whole deal.

Gotta agree. I got something similar, though plastic on the outside, I have no idea what these are. Didn't hardly work at all. Don't use them anymore.

Chilled glass is my preference, but the stones give off a nice sophisticated look...like hey, there's a rock in my glass!

Exactly.  Looks good until that stone hits you on the teeth...

And yeah, Joe, I'm cranky.  Need a hit of Midol.

More hair of the dog that bit you?  At the end of the day, it is what it is.  Let me know if a PowerPoint slide or two would be a more exciting way to share the HotD solution with you.  I can send it through the cloud or via social media networks.

Thank you, that's a good take-away.

To that I would argue that a sophisticated spirit/spririt drinker shouldn't be chilled/want to chill their drink in the first place!  It mutes flavors.  Now if you're filling a tumbler with rum and ice in the summer (or whenever), that's a whole different story. 

MODIFY:  To each their own, of course.  No wrong way to enjoy your whiskey.  If you like it with ice or water, add ice or water.  Who cares what anyone else thinks, anyway?

They don't do schit except cause someone to ask "what are those, and how do they work?"

Word, but none of us are pinky lifters.  But agreed, like chilled wine, same shit different pile.
