in an abundance of caution

[David Tollefson]

Is it a buzzword when you add a syllable to preventive to make preventative, or just bad form?

"Orientate."

Sends my hackles up.

[JJohnson]

"Synergy"

The meeting room I sit next to and book every other day is called the "Synergy Room." Most popular room for those meetings that could be emails.

[Ras72]

"Wheelhouse".


Please don't.

"high throughput"

How many times in a panel discussion on TV do they have to say
“To your point...” ?

[SlowPokePete]

I haven't looked at this thread in a while, but now the word "buzzword" annoys me.

SPP

[GeneK]

Or, the qualifier that TV “experts” (or politicians) add to a statement:
“With that being said...”

[ldamelio]

'No offense, but..........'

Inevitably followed by something at best annoying but most likely offensive.

[Bob Ross]

"Synergy"

That was a great album!

[colker]

I don't think this qualifies as a buzzword, but it drive me crazy to have a conversation with a young person who interjects ----

like


Like, after every 4th word like, that comes out of their like, mouth.

aaaaaarrggh!!!

One that´s hard for me to understand: someone is having a meltdown, full emotional trauma deal and a fried comes in. Instead of talking about, hugging or cursing whatever just asks: are you ok?.. just distancing from the emotion and asking the sufferer to distance from the pain either.

Does that make any sense? Being from a latin american culture and used to emotion overflow it looks weird.

1) drivers suck here ... is there some place where everyone thinks all their fellow drivers are awesome? i have yet to find this place.

2) only in ... person A: traffic really sucks here. person b: only in new york. really? it doesn't suck in la or atlanta or philly or ? when people say only in, its either something that actually happens everywhere or it couldn't be anywhere else ... person a: i went to the statue of liberty, person b: only in new york.

Gaslight and dog whistle

Since this is the Love to Hate thread not the Just Hate thread I want to add this: Design Language. My brother used this the other day and I said "What the fuck did you just say?" Now I'm using it at every opportunity. Relevant or not, doesn't matter.

Phrases that I just hate are far too many to list.

This virus thing is all a bit shite, looking forward to seeing some normalcy

[GeneK]

Through-put.
WTF is that?
