PowerPointlessness, blend of PowerPoint and pointlessness and coined by Barb Jenkins around 2000, refers to the senseless use flashy transitions, graphics and sound effects while making a slide presentation that is lacking in thought, meaning and value.
PowerPointlessness(PowerPoint和pointlessness二詞的合成形式)由一位名叫Barb Kenkins的女士在2000年左右首創(chuàng),指的是在幻燈片展示時使用絢麗的切換方式、各類圖表和音效,而幻燈片本身缺乏思想、內涵及價值,我們稱之為“絢麗空洞的PPT”。
For example:
The corporate team stumbled out of the morning meeting after three hours of suffering through PowerPointlessness and dry lectures about strategy.
公司團隊人員在忍受了三個小時絢麗空洞的PPT和枯燥的策略宣講之后,跌跌撞撞地離開了晨會。
