Hmm. That's kinda funny, because those would be the words probably found most often in job postings for what employers are seeking.

A lot of creatives these days talk about "telling stories" or being a "storyteller". It's way out of control.

It's usually in reference to departments, and a lack of collaboration or whatever. "There's a lot of siloing that goes on at that business place" would mean that the various departments don't work well together. "Accounting is in one silo and Sales is in another". Or something.

Calling soldiers 'warfighters'?!? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

With the exception of the occasional All Star Wrestling conversation, I stopped using the term "bad guys" when I was about 5 or 6.
