Corporate Jargon Recognized as Official Dialect by Linguistics Society
Phrases like 'circle back' and 'low-hanging fruit' now protected under UNESCO language preservation laws.
ZÜRICH – In a landmark decision, the International Linguistic Association (ILA) has classified Corporate Jargon as a distinct language variant called 'Bizlang.' The ruling came after a three-year study demonstrated that mid-level managers worldwide shared more vocabulary with each other than with their own native tongues. 'Let's unpack this synergy,' said ILA chair Dr. Elise Werner at the press conference, immediately demonstrating Bizlang's pervasive nature. Duolingo has already announced a 'Business Bullsh*t' course featuring modules like 'Passive-Aggressive Email Construction' and 'Surviving Zoom Roulette.'
