Synergy has many meanings.
At one point, for me, Synergy meant providing short term (90-120 days) interest free loans equivalent to 100% of sales to multiple synergistic partners(Fortune 500 companies)while trying to deal with Byzantine bureaucracies, continue operations, and provide capital to expand plant and staffing.

The folks uttering incomprehensible blather ought to be slapped until they speak plain English.

As a reward, they should be given a cigarette before the firing squad does it's business...

That seems harsh. Couldn't we just give them a PBJ sandwich and ask them to be nice? That always worked for my Mom.
