Replace the word "overall" w/ "AGGREGATE"

Sales & marketing folks L-O-V-E this word.



Why say........"overall" or "all together" when you can something stupid & completely outdated like........"AGGREGATE"!!!


Every time I hear a vendor say that in a sales meeting, I purposely laugh outloud.



What's better is to use it as a verb. Or as an idiom.


"In The Aggregate!!!" <------- You're a f'n idiot if you use it like this & either 100+ years old or too stupid to remember you don't this sh!t after college is over!!!!!!!

:laugh:
