Download or read book Watson's Dictionary of Weasel Words, Contemporary Clichés, Cant & Management Jargon written by Don Watson and published by Random House (Australia). This book was released on 2004 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-requested companion volume to DEATH SENTENCE and appealing to the same market. A book for people who really want to know what a 'six step reframe' and 'ratchet compulsion blow-out' are, and for those who want to mock the very idea. A useful handbook and guide to modern managerial language, newspeak, and linguistic political chicanery; and also an essential reference for victims and saboteurs. A book, like Death Sentence, both serious and amusing - in fact more serious and more amusing. Sludge-mongers, weasels, fog-merchants and charlatans beware: Don Watson is back to take a blowtorch to the bellies of those whose words kill meaning and challenge sanity.
