Pivot
-
Two things that trouble me about the recent emergence of "pivot". 1) Any use in the plural - as in "These key pivots" - because if you have multiple pivots you will be eccentric and unstable. 2) Actually you mean "Fulcrum" if you are using a lever metaphor, which is nearly always the case. Also - why do managers use the lever metaphor to imply getting something for nothing? You aren't - you are swapping distance for force....oh wait, maybe I see now. :doh:
