I get annoyed by thoughtless and uncreative use of certain overused terms/statements in corporate settings. Below are some that are so annoying, they distract me from the conversation. What are some that annoy you?

  • Peel back the layers of an onion
  • Incentivize
  • Let's table that so we can circle back to it later
  • We'll out that on the backburner
  • Let's not reinvent the wheel
  • They just started a new project, so their plate's full and might not have the bandwidth for an additional something else.
  • Grab the low-hanging fruit
  • That's a game changer
  • The ball's in their court. If you don't hear from them soon, send them an email to touch base.
  • I sent it up the food chain, so it's out of my hands.
  • Let's give it 110%
  • There are lots of moving parts
  • We need to have an aha moment
  • At the end of the day, what matters are the key takeaways
  • Let's engage in the best practices
  • They're working on it as we speak
  • It's a controversial approach, so we might get some flak for that.
  • So-and-so is not a people person

  • We've got progress in each of these swim-lanes
  • I just want to double-foot stomp what the vice president said
  • The team has continued to Pac-Man away at the problem
  • We'll present this to show them the art of the possible
  • Me and the other directors had a mind-meld on this topic
  • We don't have all the information; we'll have to pull the thread on that after the meeting
  • It's a short timeline so we're going to have to hit the ground running on all cylinders
  • Our excellently crafted PowerPoint is sure to get them to hit the "I believe" button
  • It's going to be important to establish a sense of urgency

I loathe each and every one of those, except "swim-lanes" which I can accept only because I hear it used when talking about actual flowchart swim-lanes (which is still a better term than "rows that represent different roles or actors within a given work process").
