The Annoying Word – Full Transparency

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Daily writing prompt
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Look, I know the deal was one word, but I had to use two. This is just too annoying to avoid, and I needed full transparency to convey my thoughts.

I have no idea what jackass came up with this phrase or why it was ever deemed necessary. When someone says, “full transparency,” all I hear is: “I have something to say, and I’ve decided not to lie to you this one time.” I’d like to think you weren’t lying to start with. The fact that you feel the need to announce your honesty before you actually speak makes me immediately find you annoying, probably under 35, and full of shit. You’re the typical corporate yahoo who took every management class on how to package absolute bullshit in a way that protects your own ass.

Be clear, be honest, and be direct. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and the three wise guys, just say it. I don’t need an introduction; as far as I can tell, none of us is in diapers. Let’s not lie, or at the very least, let’s stop using this silly new vernacular to announce what should already be the standard. Just say what you have to say and forget the incoming nonsense.
