Words used by corporate heavies or upper management "Suits" to confuse, convince, intimidate, or otherwise baffle an office drone or "associate" into compliance. Sentences are riddled with buzzwords. Suit Speak is a kind of capitalist/office version of Orwellian "double speak". Words are made overtly complicated and then sanitized so that unpleasant matters can be discussed and disguised in a "politically correct" falsely optimistic way.
Associate A: "Man, there was a lot of suit speak at that meeting. You think anyone knows we're all going to fired in a week or so?"
Associate B: "What do you mean? I thought we were all being paid to engage in aggressive retraining opportunities so the company can refocus on cost effective outsourcing? I want to be a value oriented thought leader so I can embrace the new partner championed fiscal re-evaluation. That's good, right?"
Associate A: "Dude! Use your head... Get your resume ready."

Someone puffed up with his own importance but really having little effect on the lives of others. It is often used as an insult to disparage others who really don’t deserve the title. The true empty suit, which conjures up the image of a business suit of clothing without a person, really doesn’t know what he or she is doing. He or she is ineffectual, perhaps a phony, and is about as relevant or helpful as a suit hanging on a rack.
To call someone an empty suit implies that you think they are a complete waste of time. Editorials on politicians love to use the term empty suit to describe people seeking presidential office. This or that politician is just “an empty suit,” to quote the words of numerous political critics, and is thus undeserving of our attention.
Some politicians do deserve the title. A senator with a very poor voting record, or failure to attend senate sessions could clearly be called an empty suit because he is not really performing the job for which he was elected. On the other hand, some politicians may advertise themselves as “not just an empty suit” in order to distinguish themselves from their implied empty suit peers.

Barack Obama is a real empty suit. He's never accomplished anything of importance as a politician, yet he earns the praise of millions of United States citizens.
