Briffare:da "to brief", comunicare per sommi capi le richieste di un cliente su di una determinata commessa.


Nella vignetta di Ellekappa sulle ormai tristemente famose intercettazioni delle telefonate delle escort coinvolte del sexygate italiano è apparso il termine "briffare".

La new entry “Briffare” (to brief) si aggiunge agli altri mostruosi calchi italiani “Mecciare” (to match), “Forwadare” (to forward), “Downloadare” (to download), “Uploadare” (to upload) che significano rispettivamente: comunicare per sommi capi le richieste di un cliente su di una determinata commessa, eseguire un confronto al fine di trovare affinità, inoltrare, scaricare uno o più file da una fonte in Rete, caricare uno o più file su di un server in Rete.

You sent in your favorites: words like "bucketize" and "blamestorms", phrases like "deep dive" and "rigorous decomposition". Arghhhhh. Wait, what's this? Is that a beacon of reason I see on the horizon of the world wide web? A tribute to simplicity? Yes. Welcome to UnsuckIt.com. Type in your least favorite piece of double-speak and the web site translates it into something you can actually understand. It may also give you a jargon-heavy sentence to illustrate how to use the word appropriately, or it …

Here we look at the worst examples of office-speak, along with some words that deserve a place in our professional vocabulary. Not all corporate buzzwords are without their usefulness.
Everyone has encountered business jargon at one time or another. Whether hearing them from your boss, coworkers or customers, buzzwords can be a major source of irritation, obscuring rather than clarifying someone's point.
