proactive

a word smart people use to sound dumb, "proactive" supposes a superior degree of action and, perforce, an inferior inaction and can be likened to the attempt to qualify an absolute. a patent nonsense and specious construct deriving from the same font of blather from which insurance and real estate industry "professionals" drink freely, whence also comes;
"pricepoint", "impactful", "empowered" and "that said". an example of the fundamental paradox of the school of polysyllabic palaver which proves more is actually less.

i empowered my client when the pricepoint i suggested proved impactful to the sale of their home. that said, i was proactive.

B: How many are they?
A: They are one. They are my partner.
B: I meant the staff. I'm sorry, I'm non-grammarfluid. My special personhood requires numerical specificity.
