Picked up a copy of Private Eye recently and was reminded how overused jargon infuses every aspect of life - including some of our favourite Christian buzz-words. One of which PE has dedicated a column to!
COMMUNITIES
'We know you'll enjoy using the scheme and feeling part of the Barclays Cyle Hire community' (Welcome letter to users of Boris Johnson's London bike hire Scheme)
'We encourage the tented community to stay vigilant, look out for each other and befriend neighbours' (Festival organiser, Guardian)
'As one member of the hedge community puts: 'if you've got one yew tree next door, you've had it' (Anti-leylandii campaigner, The Times)
'The seizure is sending shockwaves through the super yacht community' (Offshore Red magazine).
Private Eye, October 2010
