Meaningless drivel routinely churned out by politicians, people in marketing, management etc. Mainly the product of laziness, as it is easier to repeat impressive sounding words they have heard others use rather than think of something original to say.
The politician spoke of the need to roll out plans to proactively upskill stakeholders, thus empowering them and incentivizing them to meet the challenges of the 21st century global workplace. Everyone knew he was talking in twatspeak, and ignored him.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
