Who said I can't make up my own words?

Sometimes when I'm struggling to think of a word for a speech my secretary is writing, or I'm doing or a document she's putting together, I wish I could make up my own words.

These are some of the words I would like to use :

Forefrontline - This word would mean at the very, very front of something. It is even in front of the forefront.

Leveragest - You know when people talk about leveraging? Well we're the best at leveraging here at H&W. We would like to say that we are the leveragest. We will be able to soon, just when the dictionary people make that a word.

Sideways-across - You may have heard of other companies using the words "top-down" or "bottom-up". Not us. Sideways-across is a sort of cross between them both.

Anyone know who I submit these to?

Inspirational Quotes

When I'm running out of steam, I always like to check out great quote sites like this one. I chose some of my favourites (from Al Gore) below.

I couldn't have said this one better myself :

  • "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

    I wasn't aware that Al invented the Internet. What a man :
  • "The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I'd been up all night inventing the Camcorder."

    I echo Al when he says this :
  • "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared."

    H&W - we are always the most ready to be prepared.

    Describing Herring & Waffleman
    I often get asked, "how would you describe H&W's approach to corporate communications?"

    Well if I had to sum it up into the single, most important 136 page document we have, it would be a big job.

    So I'd probably get my secretary to do it. Contact her if you want a copy.
