brainstorm - rather quaint Thirties word overused as a newly-fashionable verb by inept middle managers.
"I want you, me, Simon and Tamsin to get together round a piece of wood and brainstorm this re-implementation issue."
Translation: "I have no f*****g idea what to do, but if I get other people talking about it, something might come up that I can steal."
