My manager (wife) pulled out "vis-a-vis" and "segue" one day a few years ago. I told her I didn't really know what those terms meant and would rather she not use them. I explained that I could add them to my 24 years of formal education but that she should realize that others, like me, found them rather presumptuous.

Management/business people learn a 'special' language I suppose. They can speak it amoungst themselves. Perhaps this is why me and my medical colleagues cringe when having to deal with administration.
