I stop reading as soon as I see the following words:
• Shameless Self Promotion
• Who we are / What we do (as title or navigation elements)They were unique words 5 years ago, think of something fucking new.
Thanks.

Use of 'DNA' (brand DNA, digital DNA, etc) is what gets my goat these days.

My boss once used the term 'liquid teams' in a magazine interview to describe the underlying fact that we have too few staff which results in the overlapping of who-works-for-what-client.
I laughed, then I felt sick, then I felt sorry for him, then I went home.
- hehe, we call them CRACK teams, which means we pay them after they've done the work.kingsteven

We all know the worst phrases:

"Who we are / What we do..." is probably the best way of saying "Who we are / What we do..."
Which is probably why so many people use it. It's plain, simple, user-friendly. Also, I didn't realise they were unique words 5 years ago!
What are the new words you suggest as an alternative?
