I want to come up with a snappier version of ‘Engaging with Durable Growth’ for a conference programme.

the French, who are hosting it, have come up with the above but:

1. It could, for non native eng speakers, be interpreted as consumer durables.
2. The Frogs don’t understand the difference between stability, durability and sustainability
3. The title is bland in any case.

All suggestions or piss takes welcome

So tempted to use that!

I might refer to Russia as ‘The Eastern Cock’

If you are talking about economic growth, 'durable' and 'sustainable' would be essentially the same- i.e. what growth can be supported given our current estimates of labor growth, technological prgress etc.

If it is economics, I've never heard the term 'durable' used to describe it unless it was an adjective along the lines of 'despite the regional recession, growth remained durable in country A'

Smart growth and how to achieve it

Call it "Sustainable Growth is an Oxymoron" That should encourage some lively debate.

Behold my growth and it's durability!

Duraplus

Dura for French word ‘tough’ and plus for ‘more of’ as in growth

Duracroissance is the literal tough growth translation but isn’t snappy

"Slow Blow. The Art of Endurance Felatio" ?

You might want to merge this with the "Can you hold your breath ..." thread

Remove one comma, and that would be a good mission statement for any crop farmer.

So what's your idea?

Try, Effort, Succeed.

Go. On. Win.

Try. Invent. Produce.

Shut. Thefuck.Up

Not terribly creative nor useful. But that's an accurate description of you.

Le. Weekend. Bitches

Play. Avoid the backrow. Tackle.

"Economics and finance is bullshit gambling and none of us really know what we're talking about so let's go to the pub and get shitfaced"

too long?

I do my best to derail.

Pursuing Sustainable Development/Growth.

PSG. That'll piss off the non-Parisien element nicely.

In pursuit of sustainable growth.

It's not. It's insulting. But maybe you have not had your nappy changed.

It’s because you ain’t funny.
I’ve been lolled quotes loads, and have a funny post of the year award , which you do not.
Being funny is often aligned with having empathy with other people, being terse, having good timing, and being relevant... again, not really something you appear to have.

Neither do you. You pump yourself up like a balloon. Then the air is expelled.

Not strictly true.

There’s a hierarchy- stable, durable, sustainable. Durable means resistant to forces, sustainable able to continue. Slight difference.

Some good suggestions, some decent banter....

None of it from Globby...

Thanks. I was in the middle of a horrid planning application, the Roland has got a bit weird. I thought you wanted ""Corporate Speak". I got that wrong.

Let's see what you come up with, as a solution. I've done this many times over the years.

Maybe my best was "Get The Abbey Habit".

I was ruddy annoyed not to go to Australia to see the parachute drop. I organised all that.

But that's corporate life.

I also got to send a lovely girl to Disneyland as part of prize winng competition, with her parents.

It's all lies, I tell you.

As many will erroneously testify.

Some marketing chancer is laying claim to your idea. Fortunately I’ve spotted it and you can put them right.

For most that would be a kill shot, but not for Gloatbus. I predict he will rise up with some shite rationalization for such an egregious claim.
