In his latest video parody star Weird Al mocks corporate double speak. Which of these are you guilty of?
Weird Al Yankovic has been top of the news cycle this week with eight videos in eight days including “Tacky”, “Word Crimes” and now “Mission Statement”.

Here are some of the phrases Yankovic is picking on – which do you use daily?
