As a PR professional and secret Zillow enthusiast, I can appreciate real estate euphemisms. We’ve all seen flowery descriptions describing homes for sale as “cozy” (read: tiny); with a “low-maintenance yard” (probably paved concrete); or “partial water view” (maybe a dried stream bed). A recent tweet about a “Frank Lloyd Wright inspired cabin” made me think about the PR jargon that clutters press releases and business memos.

The timeless, endless struggle continues: You, the savvy and realistic PR pro, know it’s better to approach fewer targets with more personalized pitches. But your boss or client keeps pushing you to bombard many more contacts with generic outreach. To them, it’s quantity over quality, like direct marketing. If 10 is good, 100 is better, right?
