When the language of middle-management stakeholder capitalism (what BEagle memorably referred to as "wankwords") is persistently used instead of clear, simple and direct English.

For instance, I was advised by a squadron leader admin the other day that a small item of works services which would take one man with a screwdriver about ten minutes could not be carried out because "...Stakeholders have not agreed a budget going forward and consequently a timeframe and workscale cannot be identified at this point in time".

I rest my case.
