BABLOCK HYTHE, UK — A 62-year-old man has reportedly become a leading voice in modern business thinking after repeatedly using the word “synergy” incorrectly during a casual pub conversation.

“I don’t fully understand what I said,” Dave admitted, “but people keep nodding, so I assume it’s important.”
At press time, Dave was reportedly in talks to release a follow-up course on “Advanced Synergisation Mechanics.”
