2022's new overused business word.

[Texas_Signmaker]

"Opportunity"

Why is everything an opportunity now?

"Hey, I have an opportunity in your area to install 4 sets of channel letters about an hour away for $250!" Yeah, what an opportunity!

I've noticed this word a lot too.
It's new meaning is "something you don't want to do".
Lol, around my work place, when my boss comes up to me and says "we have the opportunity to..."
It means a pain in (my arse)... But lucrative enough for him to consider.

 

[GAC05]

It's a gender-neutral word so anyone can use it without fear of being canceled.

Good to know ... The next attractive girl I meet I will tell her I have an opportunity for her.

And there goes the gender neutral thought.

 

[GAC05]

And there goes the gender neutral thought.

I think as long as he does not try to oversell it as a 'Great Big Opportunity' he will be fine.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the opportunity to respond to your post regarding the use of the word "opportunity".
It's not often that a sign maker gets the opportunity to engage with others regarding the use of the word opportunity.
In fact, I cannot recall the opportunity to do this since being a member of the signs101, but I now heartily embrace the opportunity to do so.
Thank you for presenting myself and others with this fine opportunity.

And that girl has the opportunity to run as.fast as she can away from Tex and his pet lizard.

Kamala, is that you?

 

[Gino]

I didn't hear any nervous giggling.

 

[Johnny Best]

Kamala has the opportunity to fix the boarder but she is lazy and stupid.

As always, when things start to get outta hand refer to George.

in much the same way that everything the government suanders money on is an "investment" or is "infrastructure" (EXCEPT FOR THINGS THAT ACTUALLY ARE...)

Opportunity came from a focus group

George Carlin is truly one of the greats.

 

[Ray Miller]

Yes he was.

50% chance of today turning into tomorrow around midnight.

"Efficiencies" is another corporate marketing code word that makes my eyes roll.

 

[Gino]

'New Norm' seems to be a good one, for like the last year or so.

 

[gnubler]

Good to know ... The next attractive girl I meet I will tell her I have an opportunity for her.

I suggest sticking with a retraction.

The word I hate that appears on every corporate website's menu is "Solutions". Makes me cringe just thinking about sales & marketing slime and their favorite buzzwords.

Job creators beg for that investment money
