Another jargon generator

This one consists four lists. The instructions:

Select any phrase in Column A and combine it with any other from each of Columns B, C and D to produce an instant conference remark which will impress the audience with your learning and easy acquaintance with contemporary issues. Or string an a number of phrases together to produce a mind numbing report.

Two examples:

"Within the frame work of the new aid strategy (A), a multi-pronged attack at all levels (B), should mobilize resources in (C) the village community (D)".

"Semantics apart (A), culture-bound learning experiences (B) may be under-rated in (C) grassroots programmes (D)".

As the site points out, "Each phrase is of course rubbish but it takes a brave person to challenge you."

The site is obviously British which is great. Who better to defend the language than those who invented it?
