What are you least favorite buzzwords, cliches, and catch phrases?

Question

Such as "business solutions", "thinking outside the box", "giving back to the community", "put your money where your mouth is", etc. I think people who use such phrases are retarded.

Answer 1

Okay mine is  "Lets put all our ducks in a row."  How many times have I heard that when talking to some pencil pushing  administrator who doesn't have an answer for me regarding my daughters placement at school.  I want to hand them a rubber duck!  the other catch phrase that I hate is  "Are we on the same page, here?"  Heck NO!  I think I am on page fifty four and you are only on page fifty one!

Answer 2

My bad

I don't like to be confrontational

Answer 3

Retarded is a strong word for people who feel the need to jump on the bandwagon with catchphrases and clichés.

Very often, the desire to communicate quickly and effectively is in sync with the desire to fit in.

Don't have a cow man.
