    An office collegue named Cooper twisted these turns of phrase: 'We are all in this alone'. 'Don't worry, nothing will work out'. And my favorite: 'Some projects are born to fail, others acheive failure, and yet others have failure thrust upon them'. ;)

      Sounds to me like a true pessimist, probably from years of experience. :)

        He really needs a psychiatric consultation for the extreme amounts of pessimism he is stocking in. We had one guy in my previous organization, who use to retaliate immediately to any task request (as if like an Autoresponder) "Not possible", "Too difficult", "Out of scope". Only after hours and hours of explaining, the dumbass would try to launch his IDE.

              Sounds to me like the character Dr. McKay from Stargate Atlantis... Make everything seem impossible, and then when you solve it, everyone thinks your brilliant!

                  Sounds like the language used to describe the character of Bloody Stupid Johnson, who in the Discworld is a kind of "inverse genius," i.e., he can produce triangles with three right angles and circles the ratio of whose circumferences to their diameters is always 3. Inverse genius is defined by Sir Terry Pratchett as, "As far away from incompetence as normal genius, but in the opposite direction." I think the Discworld novels have to win the prize as the books who use buzzwords and also who do it in a very pleasing-to-read manner.
