The former Simon & Schuster (UK) executive Nick Webb, in a Publishing News report, discusses his forthcoming book, The Dictionary of Bullshit, due out next fall. It is, says the report, “an attack on corporate double-speak — which Webb claims to have become very familiar with during his time at S&S.” Says Webb, “My corporate life was certainly a rich source of bullshit — but then, I think everybody’s is. A lot of that corporate language is drained of responsibility. You don’t say, ‘I’m not paying you,’ you say ‘that’s not a payment situation’.”
