Attack of the Weasel Words - Newsweek Entertainment - MSNBC.com: "What are the “weasel words” you dislike most?

'Implemented.' You'll see implemented everywhere. In this language, you “implement” rather than speak or do. And then there is enhanced. Everything is being enhanced. That word is being used in place of other more precise and descriptive words. You can enhance your marriage or your job. You can even implement your enhancements. And 'input' is another good one. Companies talk about “input into our people.” This reflects technology and accounting [ideas]. It all has to do with input and outcomes."
