About the Systematic Buzz Phrase Generator
In 1968, Newsweek magazine published a short, but humorous article, How to Win at Wordsmanship. It described the "Systematic Buzz Phrase Projector," a concept developed by Philip Broughton, a (then) 63 year old worker in the US Public Health Service. He must have had a delightful sense of humor.
We here at the Acronym Finder have implemented Broughton's Systematic Buzz Phrase Projector (SBPP if you like) as a fun way of not only randomly generating his buzz phrases, but also (what else?), the corresponding acronyms and abbreviations they form.
Broughton's system uses this three-column list of 30 cleverly chosen buzzwords.
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
0. integrated 0. management 0. options
1. total 1. organizational 1. flexibility
2. systematized 2. monitored 2. capability
3. parallel 3. reciprocal 3. mobility
4. functional 4. digital 4. programming
5. responsive 5. logistical 5. concept
6. optional 6. transitional 6. time-phase
7. synchronized 7. incremental 7. projection
8. compatible 8. third-generation 8. hardware
9. balanced 9. policy 9. contingency
To use the SBPP, just make up a 3 digit number and then choose the numbered buzzword from each column. So, if you chose 031, you would get Integrated Reciprocal Flexibility (IRF). Try it for yourself.
You can use this to complicate your conversations! With randomly wise (useless) ideas. The number will give you also a acronym for the three word statement! Wow!
