1971, Kenneth Lamott, "The Chancellor the State Colleges," Los Angeles Times, 14 Nov., p. U16:Even phrased as they are in Higher Managementese, these comments touch the heart of the matter.

2002, "Silly names for failure," Telegraph (UK), 10 Jun. (retrieved 14 Apr. 2009):Since February, we have been calling for the ridiculously named Consignia to change back to the good old Post Office. . . . The chief executive, John Roberts, said of Consignia that it was a "modern, meaningful and entirely appropriate" name that "describes the full scope of the Post Office in a way that the words ‘post’ and ‘office’ cannot". That was clearly hogwash managementese of the worst variety.
