In this witty and sharp critique, the author explores how modern English is being drained of its clarity and emotion by corporate jargon, political double-talk, and empty clichés. Watson analyzes how banks, politicians, and business leaders use overly complicated or vague phrasing—what he calls “sludge”—to obscure the truth and evade genuine accountability. It serves as both a humorous takedown of corporate culture and a passionate plea to rescue language from dull, clinical over-management.
