Business Jargon I Hate: Edition # 1

In this edition, the word in question is DELIVERABLE(S).

Deliverable (noun): something that can be provided as the product of development.
"By the end of the week, your deliverables should be ready for your client."
In general, this can mean a presentation, a proposal, a paper, a product, etc.

I think I hate this word because a professor in college used it too much (ahem... Jasso). I think ever since then it annoyed the hell out of me. But when people use this term in the workplace, I think it's WAY too corporate-y.

What do you think?
