RE: I just heard another one

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

You misheard. The word is not "efforting" but rather "FRT'ing," as in:
"I'm currently FRT'ing that project through Marketing." FRT stands for
"Fiscally Risking Trillions," and it's a common term in finance and
government these days.

There are other pronunciations for the same acronym, but this is a
family-friendly list.

Happy Friday!
