Weak Speak

Language designed to distance. Use of language which absolves the speaker of any real responsibility. Language used so frequently (these days) by politicians and managers (in business, industry and almost everywhere else).
Call centre:
"Your complaint was actioned last week and if you don't adjust your tone I will be obliged to release the call".

Customer:
Cut the weak speak...just give me a straight answer.
