Jargonism pisses me off
Sex God
Things like - "So as to make sure we're singing from the same him sheet" that sort of thing pisse me off too.
"Same horse different jockey is another one"
"Two steps forward one step back" another one and indeed if people really knew they'd realise thats called line dancing.
Oh it goes on an on and on and on ..................

Thats a bit of a tiurn away from EPOS i'm sorry I jusdt felyt the need to "let off steam"
I'm not a bloody kettle aaaargggggghhhhhhh!! :x
I'm not a bloody kettle aaaargggggghhhhhhh!! :x Most professions are mostly jargon.
My recent favorite is phenomenological which means watching what happens and thinking about it whilst being paid to do so.
I had no idea what an EPOS was.
Jargon is necessary in some contexts but all too often is used without thought by the folk used to it or more irritatingly to be a snart arse.

Mr Stuff's boss liked -
"We'll just get this buttoned up"
"Lets put this one to bed"
"We'll have to pull together on this one"
"Who was responsible for that?"
"Are you kidding - everything's great"
"One final push for the end of the month"
What they all meant was - "I'll sit here in my cosy, air-conditioned office and you lot run yourselves ragged making my deadlines work"

My job is full of acronyms. I teach PLM to LU's on PCs. They work for NGNPP on a CA network and have to make sure they follow the relevant GQP's, OP's an BP's. Their departments pay PDOTs for their attendance and are charged on an AP'ly basis.
Our product consists of HP, IP and LP sections which will include NGVs among many other things.
It drives you mad. We have an official document which is over an inch thick detailing all these acronyms and what they mean. It even includes LRD - Large Round Danish - for when someone does a cake-shop run.

The one that really p***es me off if the phrase:
"going forward",
what is wrong with
"in the future",
or even the simpler
"later".
And if anyone can define the term "vertical marketing" to me so that it makes sense, I'd be grateful, but very surprised.

Vertical marketing:
A specialised form of marketing where a number of different businesses offer similar products to one or more niche customers.
The products are often highly specialised and not often available or of interest to the general public.
Examples would include ATMs sold to banks or undercarriage systems sold to aircraft manufacturers.
Basically the suppliers are providing specialist products to (often) larger customers for incorporation into their services or products. It's generally highly competitive but can be incredibly lucrative if you corner the market.

Oh, thanks for that Foxy!
I think the problem has been that everyone whose tried to explain it to me before either a) didn't understand the term themselves, or b) misapplied the term to the particular scenario.
Not too sure that this new learning enbiggens me, but how can any knowledge be a bad thing.
