Corporate speak. Buzzwords. Jargon. English corporate language is littered with idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, and smart-sounding phrases that can sound like another language - not the English you’ve learned.
For example, let’s touch base, or let’s circle back on that tomorrow.
If you’ve ever been in a business meeting and left thinking, “I didn’t understand a single word of that discussion” then you’ve likely experienced a meeting full of invented terms and industry-specific English jargon.
English business jargon is words and phrases used by employees to express ideas, share information, give details, and more.
What’s frustrating about jargon is that it’s unnecessary. English corporate speak might sound smart or creative but most of the time it can be replaced by simpler, more concise language.
In today’s Confident English lesson, you’re going to learn 21 Business Jargon Examples in English. I want you to know some of the most common examples of current buzzwords so you can easily understand the conversations around you.
And, I’ll be answering the question: should you be using English business jargon in conversations at work?
After you watch, tell me your favorite example of English jargon.

I like using "circle the wagon," "kicking the anthill," and being mindful of the "optics." Often, inconcise language can be invaluable in the appropriate context.

One of my personal favorite is to refer something as being "in a holding pattern" to mean a process is stalled or a proposal is put on the back burner.

Dear Annemarie, thank you for this precious lesson! Actually at work I usually hear some of the phrases you mentioned such as "Let's touch base on this later/next week/tomorrow/..." or "Let me think through this". I'll try to keep on my mind some of these expressions as they might be useful during a meeting. Of course I need to train and learn how to use them the best way and at the right time. Thank you for all the examples you provided us with.

These are all great pain points that really drive this home. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, but it is crucial that we drill down and circle back before Q2 to really knock it out of the park and show the customers we have the deliverables.

Hi Annemarie , as always you’re a phenomenal coach and mentor to all of us still struggling in ESL. Q: Tied up vs caught up - what’s their differences?
@Speakconfidentenglish
@Speakconfidentenglish Год назад
Thanks for the question, Anna. Tied up means to be very busy and unable to speak to anyone, go anywhere, or do anything else other than what you're working on at the moment. For example, "I'm tied up at work and won't be able to get home in time for dinner." Caught up in something has a slightly different meaning. - To be caught up in something = to be involved in or to be so involved in an activity that you do not notice other things. For example, "I was so caught up in reading my book that I didn't notice the time." I hope this helps.

Great video, as always! I think Luis and I work at the same company and we don’t know! Hahaha It explains a lot about why I felt so lost when I started working here in Canada. I hear those expressions every day, but now, after watching your video, I feel more confident to use them when necessary. Thank you!
@Speakconfidentenglish

Haha! Very clever, Debora! It sounds like you hear a lot of buzzwords where you work. I'm so pleased this lesson has helped! If you hear any other unusual expressions, let me know. You can always leave a comment or send an email.

The big problem to use jargon at work ih that especially Brazilian guys spend a lot of time on this to show that their know more to the others, particularly I hate it...but it is worth.

That is true for many people. It gets used because it sounds impressive and is popular.

Hi Annemarie, firstly I would like to say that I love your videos, and I have been learning a lot with you. Thank you! I am a new emplyee at the company, and my boss always schedule "catch up meetings" with me. Could you please explain the meaning of this? I am not sure what he expects from a catch up meeting. Thanks is advance!
@Speakconfidentenglish
@Speakconfidentenglish Год назад
Great question! My best guess is these meetings are indented to get up to date. Your boss what's to 'catch up' or get up to date on what you're doing, how things are going, etc.

Let’s be clear corporate jargon is meant to confuse and the fuddle the listener. It is all about elevating the speaker making them seem important so much so that they can’t be understood because you’re not good enough.

I cannot stand what I call corporate 'drones' in regards to the jargons used. No one has a personality anymore. It's all.... 'strategic, data-driven, trending, pivot, position ourselves, moving the needle.... on and on and on. Corporate robots who just play the game but don't actually get anything done.

Funny how you gave a “shout out” before you started the content. This expression in corporate speak is most annoying as it is somewhat of a cultural appropriated hip hop street term. When shared by a well spoken person like you, sounds like a 70’s parent saying “groovy” or something like that. Thanks for educating the corp talk illiterate….
