I’m aware, but this phrase seems to be more meaningless corporate-speak than regional dialect or variation. The only purpose of phrases like this is to make the speaker sound smart at the cost of obfuscating what they mean.

How is it obfuscated? The meaning is perfectly clear in context. You're stretching too much for this lift.

Obfuscating? What's the purpose of using this fancy word? Why not just say "make hard to understand?"

I’m not against using big words when they’re used according to their actual accepted meaning. But take my upvote regardless :)

I read/hear sentences like this all day at work and I’ve taken to just interpreting them literally. So I’ll have you know I’m neither exercising nor on an elevator right now.

Obfuscating is an easy word to understand. Only 11 letters. You, sir, are phantasmagorical. (16)
