A list of words unsuitable for use in the public sector - such as wellderly and trialogue - has been published by the Local Government Association (LGA).
The annual collection - this year spanning 250 words - have been taken from EU, central government, quangos, regional government and business management speak.
Surprising words and phrases such as trialogue and goldfish bowl facilitated conversation were new to the list. The currently popular wellderly was also added.
The list is 100 words longer than 2009, which itself saw an increase in 50 words from 2008, illustrating the extent to which jargon has infiltrated the public sector.
According to the LGA, council leaders are concerned management argot will block communication with the public on the benefits of services to the taxpayer.
However, the association was keen to stress there was a place for technical language, but it should only be used between experts.
The LGA group has also set up a website to help public bodies counter the onset of jargon and promote plain language.
The full list is available here.
New words include:
Trialogue
Wellderly
Goldfish bowl facilitated conversation
Tonality
Webinar
Under-capacitated
Clienting
Disbenefits
