Our VP of sales is a very interesting guy. His sales team absolutely sucks, he never seems to have a clue about what the rest of the organization is doing, and like a wayward cousin or uncle, he can only be reached when he needs a favor.
BUT - it's OK, because he uses obscure words in every day settings, so he MUST be intellectual and on-his-shit.
His over-used fancy word of late: Copacetic.
You may have heard the word in the popular song, "Bound to the Floor" or you may have said it yourself in a joking manner.
What does it mean? In layman's terms, it means "OK." "Satisfactory." "Fine." For a Brit's take on the etymology click here.
Examples:
"We scheduled this meeting to make sure everyone is copacetic about the new L4 goals."
"I ordered pizza for the meeting . . . . I just want to take a minute to make sure everyone on the phones is copacetic with this."
"No one completed the task as it was assigned. I want to make sure we're all copacetic - get back to me by end of day."
Stay Tuned - the next time our VP has a hot date with the thesaurus, I'll update with his new buzzword! (If you don't currently, don't you wish you had an office job?)
