There are two ways to use jargons, one way is to pretend being intelligent and the other way is really being intelligent. Jargon is just a short cut to express some complicated concepts using a few words.\u00a0 Jargons originate from various sources, such as science, psychology, economics, military, literature, etc.,\u00a0 Then the original meaning of the word expands and they are borrowed to use in different context.\u00a0 If you use a jargon without any explanation and your audience have no clue idea what the jargon is about, then you are just an inefficient communicator.\u00a0 If\u00a0 you don’t even know the meaning of the jargon yourself, then you are just bluffing nonsense.\u00a0 However when the jargon is used right, it is a very powerful rhetorical tool.\u00a0 You can instantly grabbed the audience’s attention with a short phrase.\u00a0 After you take control of the conversation, you can then go on with explanation of the jargon and relate the jargon to the context.\u00a0 Express your position with the help of jargons adds authorities, which makes your speech more persuasive.\u00a0 Most people won’t question the concept behind the jargon, they will simply swallow whatever idea represented by the jargon, as long as it makes sense on the first glance.\u00a0 In order to make my speech more vivid and intelligent, I compile a small but growing list of useful jargons.\u00a0 Please check it out at here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
