"Jeff Veen":http://www.veen.com/jeff/ spent some time in a big corporation and discovered some fascinating IA(Information Architecture) Jargon. Some of my favorite ones?
Boil the Oceanv. Try to solve too many problems with an overambitious project, typically resulting in a complete failure. Many Content Management projects end up this way when attempting to port an entire organization's content, process, and workflow into one new, massive tool. "Look, just help the HR teams get their forms online. We don't need to boil the ocean with this."
Buddha Naturen.The One True Home of a page or resource in a Web site's structure. There may be multiple pathways for arriving at it, but it only lives in one spot. "You can get to your account statement from any banking page, but it's Buddha Nature is the Document Center."
Big Bang, SUAC(Shut Up and Color) and Framejack are also really nice ones.
