Buzzwords

Buzzwords: A series of eight, two-dimensional square cards (15cm). There are five cards for Birthdays, one for You're Leaving, one for an Apology and one for Congratulations. Each card cheekily celebrates the (over)use of meaningless and perfunctory words in the everyday workplace environment. Go on, eulogize those mixed metaphors and become a Buzzword Evangelist!
