1935 A. P. Herbert in Punch 19 June 730/2 It is just the misplaced effort to ‘write like a book’, to be elegant and flowery, that yields the sickliest growths of ‘officese’ and Jungle English—all these ‘inst.'s’ and ‘ult.'s’ and ‘in regard to's’ and ‘favours’ and ‘representatives’.
1942 E. Partridge Usage & Abusage 218/2 Commercialese or Business English (or, as A. P. Herbert calls it, Officese).
1960 E. Partridge Charm of Words i. 22 Commercialese..has also been called officese.
