OFF THE VINE: Jargon: we've had enough of it
Vine has already vented its spleen against jargon (c.f. "Wank Word
Bingo" in the December 17 edition), and is now taking aim at acronyms
which are meaningless to approximately 99 per cent of the normal human
population. To whit: "CPM". As a public service, Vine will now convert
these acronyms into language more easily understood, yet just as
relevant.
Hence, CPM now stands for "cost per Mercedes". Any others out there?
