Current favorite piece of business jargon (Stripe edition): "because reasons".

@avibryant I always understood it as, "Because of reasons that are so stupid, yet predictable, that it would make you cry if I explained …" -
@peterseibel@avibryant My experience is "there are valid reasons but they're complicated/dumb and not worth our time to explore right now." -
@gln@avibryant that's how I choose to interpret it when@peterseibel says that to me. Despite his apparently different definition. -
@squarecog@gln@peterseibel look, the reasons for things are always complicated and dumb; that's a constant. Here they're also unimportant. -
@squarecog because reasons?
