"Challenged", "Issues", "More 'bang for the buck'." Currently hate those phrases. The hospital I USED to work at used those phrases frequently. For example the 600-pound female in my office who was not 'morbidly obese', but 'bariatrically challenged'. I was not short, I was 'vertically challenged.' I guess, since I typed for a living I was typographically challenged, since we then got into the domain of 'issues.' According to my boss, we were never typing too fast or too slow, we were having 'productivity issues.'. As to the last one, I would have preferred to be told I was being replaced by two part-time trainees for less pay/benefits, than that the two people I trained (and subsequently discovered were replacing me), were replacing me because the hospital could get "more 'bang' for the buck." (Lovely way of saying your job is 'toast', however).
