End Gobbledygook

Don’t you just hate it when people talk to you in riddles or meaningless empty phrases?

Spouting gobbledygook just to make them sound like they know what they are talking about.

Really, what they are doing is trying to hide...

After all, if nobody understands what the gobbledygooker is saying, they can’t easily be challenged or criticised!

Smart Business Help is campaigning to bring an end to gobbledygook.

Be it in the work place, in politics, on TV, Radio, the Web or anywhere else, we want to hear about your experiences with gobbledygook!

Please send us your best examples of the worst gobbledygook to:
