The New Gobbledygook: A New Zealand Dictionary And Guidebook by Peter Isaac

If you have ever read a government press release or report, management consultant’s report or a recruitment advertisement and been perplexed by bamboozling language, wondering what they are really saying, your are not alone! The first part of this book is a dictionary of over 700 fashionable words, terms and phrases that now have new, often coded, meanings (plus some that are now passé); the second part of the book provides translations of actual documents, notices and proclamations! Simultaneously entertaining and scary, this book is a must-read for all New Zealanders who want to understand the language of government and those who cater to it. This 2004 Transpress Paperback is in good condition. Ex company library.
