    Anyone who uses the terms synergy or "game changer" needs to be removed from the premises with extreme prejudice. Horrid, horrid little terms that demonstrate the user's brain is in sleep mode. X|

      Can I add "Paradigm" to that list? Along with "Leverage", "Diversity" and "Empowerment", please? If you need a hand to remove them from the premises, I have a rusty, blunt knife I am willing to bring along...

          Help me CP, you're my only hope. I'm looking for four words or phrases that convey the following: - Coordinate [bring together] - Break through [make an advancement] - General consensus [most people agreeing] - Provide backup [help someone else do the work] Pretty please with plums on top, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. [edit] Added usage. [edit x 2] Got my words: - Accommodator - ground-breaking / Pioneering - Consensus building - Auxiliary / facilitating Your suggestions + thesaurus = inspiration.

                                      Why bother running to the washroom? Puking there and then would make the point all the more.
