  "Green chutes" is the business term I'm beginning to hate. They aren't green chutes, their business who didn't have greedy people at the top so they weren't as f-ed when the economy tanked and are recovering quicker.
  
  This list makes me glad I'm not in the business world.
  
  I think the funniest thing about this list is that all of these are terms that some successful business person used effectively at one point in time and then wrote a book about, so everyone else started using them to be successful too. Here's a tip, the people who write those books didn't become successful by following someone else's model, they went out and did something different.

  And they didn't become successful because of those terms. They became successful because of their actions. The terms were just words they used. Just because some billionaire uses "synergy" with regularity doesn't mean that if start saying that word, you'll magically become rich and successful.
