"Road Maps"
Bluemooner Started conversation May 23, 2003
Has anyone else noticed that the new political buzz word appears to be "Road Map"? These days we have Road Maps for just about everything: Peace in Palestine, rebuilding Iraq, joining the Euro - it seems that just about any political initiative these days has to be accompanied by a Road Map.
What I want to know is this: is this a deliberate attempt by senior politicians to alienate women from major policy decisions? As everybody knows, women cannot read road maps of any type - preferring usually to stop and ask for directions.
Secondly, will we ever be able to buy these new maps at W H Smiths?

I used to draw roadmaps as part of my old job, to help direct people to the clients/places we were doing adverts for - very, very stylised and bearing no relation at all to what the roads are actually doing.
My advice? Wait for the A-Z (tm) to come out, they're about the best

This phrase became popular in Marketing and IT circles about 2 years ago - there were career road maps and upgrade roadmaps etc. As far as I can tell it is a direct replacement for the word "framework" that was used before.
