(humorous) Disturbance and confusion..
Because we have cultured, Euro accents and enunciate properly, we try and slip made up words into our meetings and watch the USers eat them up because like the saying about the bigger the lie, the more people believe it, the more syllables a word has the more readily they will accept it. Example: "We have identified an anuspeptic, some would say phrasmotic, phased paradigm shift in the market of interphrastic proportions. It's causing much contrafribbilarities^([sic]) and indeed much pericombobulation in the ABC1 sector. Frankly, we're Donald Ducked."
