If you love words, you know it’s true.

"The ink-based writing implement has been shown to be more efficacious than the blade-centered cutting device."

But only when the blade-centered cutting device is sharp enough to trim the fat.

And so, to mark the launch of our new "say it smarter" positioning, we invite you to translate your own famous quotes into jargon.

Say it stupider

The quote above came courtesy of our own fastidious jargon hunter, Jebadiah.

Here are some more examples:

• "And the omnipotent deity vocalized, ‘Facilitate effective illumination.’"
• "To embody the property of existence or not to embody the property of existence, that is the query posed."
• "What quantity of roads should an adult male endeavour to traverse before said male might accurately refer to himself as having achieved adulthood status?"
• "Levitate precariously in the manner of a butterfly, administer unpleasant sensations in the manner of a bee."
• "I enjoy possession of nighttime visualizations."
• "The sole variable we have cause to express alarm at is the expression of alarm itself."
• "Things of an actionable nature vocalize more noticeably than things of a verbal nature."
• "Frankly, my dear, I’m unequivocally indifferent towards the outcome of this situation. "
