O.K. In the time it took me to go upstairs to my loading room/office over the garage (attached) and look it up, chefreiss had your answer for you. By the way, his dictionary must be REALLY big! Mine just said “SYNERGY: Combined work or energy"...And the reason I leave the dictionary up there is it's too dang heavy to try to pack around to whichever room I happen to be in when I need it.

Thanks! It is one of the “new” made up words. It is not in my Webster's New Collegiate nor New World Dictionary of the American Language. Every time I try to look up dictionary on the internet it wants to sell me something.

Doggone it, Ric! Now you made made me go all the way back up to my loading room, just to look at the Copyright date on my 20 lb. dictionary!
It's WEBSTER'S THIRD NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY (Unabridged), Copyright 1986.
Now, I'm old enough (89 and counting) to call something invented before 1986 “NEW", but I've met you out a Paul Bunyan, and you're not far enough past the whippersnapper stage to qualify.
Your dictionary, however, may be much older than you are.

I am so sorry, Wes. But I love it when you call a 69 year old, “Whippersnapper"! My New Collegiate I bought while at Miami University in 1966, so it may be a little old-ish.

David is right that's one thing the internet is good for although I keep my Am Heritage Dictionary within arms reach of my desk. Anything is better than the sorry excuse that Bill puts in MS Word which must have only a thousand words in it. John

If you're referring to the word “synergy” as double speak or even a “new” usage (neologism) , you're incorrect as that word derives from the Greek sunergia (cooperation) and sunergos (working together) according to my AHD of the English Language, 3rd ed.
Attached Files
Well, since “synergy” was never used in the English or American English, it is a made up word. Otherwise we would have used the ancient Greek word or words that are no longer spoken in Greece (but maybe Cyprus?).

Ric - don't look up dictionary just go to google and search the word. It will give you lots of info. Mike

If you guys spent more time shooting bullets, than the breeze, well. Oops, I am becoming one of you old guys. Don't you just love me!:nawnawnaw:
Question of the day:
If a 69 year old is a whippersnapper, then what is a 58 year old, a “whipper” or a “snapper", because I can't find it on the internet.

It used to be called 'double-speak'.
Corporate buzz word. Yes, we need to think outside the box and proactively leverage our synergies for the win-win.
Attached Files
Here is the translation of the corporate double speak:
We here in management have screwed up so badly and for so long now that it has finally catching up with us and our sales are plummeting, so we have to take it out on labor by closing the plant. It's not our fault, really. We here in (mis)management always take full credit for anything that goes right, but we never, ever take responsibility for our screw-ups.

If I'm not mistaken Browning used Synergy or Cynergy for the name of their latest group of O/U's . Think they've been around 5-10 years now . IMHO not overly attractive for an O/U but to each his own .

Working in aerospace for Boeing, I remember new words by airplane model, “Synergy” came into common aerospace buzz word usage with the 777, introduced about 1992. The concept was including the airlines in the design phase to insure a usable product that a team built and this combined effort which would give the airplane “synergy".
