I'm going to have to add "libary" to your list.

/it's all good

I hate "thinking outside of the box" as well. Highly irritating.

I'm more interested in the article at the end of the page:
"Deep-fried choc sandwich sells like hot cakes." And they say the Brits don't have good food. Mmmm mmm, artery blockage, here I come!

Sweatin like a whore in church

Alexis - my old boss couldn't get through a conversation without telling me one of these things
1) I needed to touch base with her later
2) I needed to touch base with someone else
3) She would touch base with me
4) Some unnamed, unknown persons would be touching base with each other, and this would somehow affect my job responsibilities.

She refused to use any other expression to mean "have a conversation" or "exchange information". Although, I still prefer "touch base" to "interface".

Worst: Guy on a crowded elevator, "This must be the local!"

/give her a sandwich!

all your cliches are belong to us

/i for one welcome our new cliche-bashing overlords

mryoop789,

along those Springer-related lines, how about...
"girl, you better drop that zero and get yourself a hero"

Everytime someone at work says, "What's the path forward?" around me, they're risking a beating.

shrinkydink,

I hate that one too - exspecially since my dad is a liberry-an.

Stop your biatchin, get your ass in the kitchin?

Wa-choo talkin' 'bout, mryoop789? Oh no, you didn't?

From a to z
I want to punch people in the face when I hear that expression

I think we're all forgetting "head them off at the pass".

FYI, just so you know, biatch..

"I'm sorry but, pro-active and paradigm, aren't these just buzz words that dumb people use to sound important. Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that...I'm fired aren't I."

Touch base with this!!!
*grabs croch*

Putting out fires

Per your e-mail...

Stab, stab, stab.

Another business one: starting a sentence with "Here's what I think..."

I find "at the end of the day" extremely annoying.

We're going to have a "top line" discussion.
Or when people call their Power Point demonstrations "decks"
Or when someone says they'll "hit me back" instead of responding like a civilized person
Or when the cheesy guy in Account says he's "G-ed up from the feet up."
Advertising is a nightmare.

FarkingInTheFreeWorld:

Pro-active and paradigm? Feh. Try leveraging your synergies.

"TGIF"
or
"Happy Humpday!"

I want to smack these people.

I hate "easy come, easy go"

Empower

To be honest with you, I hear what you're saying. It's not rocket science. Bear with me while I touch base with these crack troops between a rock and a hard place so I can start blue-sky thinking.

/cocaine is one helluva drug

I worked with a girl that always said "Thank ya muchly!" and
I just wanted to hit her in the mouth every time she did it.
She also said "irregardless" all of the time. I think she was making up her own language of imaginary words.

On the other side of this, what would happen if these people who overuse these phrases actually had to (gasp) think of something original to say? They might never speak again! Actually, that sounds pretty good to me.

Working hard?

Hardly working!

Instant death.

Mute point = it goes without saying, Valid?

Bad ones:

Don't take this personally
6 sigma
work with velocity
can I be frank

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." Every time I hear that I want to throat punch the person. Oh, and people who say "throat punch".

Let's regroup and circle the wagons to have a topline discussion per our email regarding this concept.

There's probably a subtle distinction to be made between pop-culture cliches and boneheaded business jargon, but the effect of both on my blood pressure is about the same. Here are some gems from my experience:

receival - the event that occurs when material is unloaded on the dock. Not to be confused with receipt.

low-hanging fruit - easy targets of opportunity that lend themselves to half-assed effort and premature declarations of success.

I could go on, and ON, and ON... but here's one of the worst:

analyzation - not to be confused with analysis. I wrote code for the "analyzation" folks, and they had that horribly mangled not-word plastered all over their section.

/got your low-hanging fruit right here, buddy.

Skimming this thread, I am shocked (SHOCKED) to not see the most annoying cliche EVER.

Your dog wants _____

My dog wants to rip the testicles off of people who use that.

Mute point:

No. NO! NO! NO!!!!

It's a farking MOOT point.

/GAH

In the ballpark?! It's not in the ballpark. It's not even in the muthafarkin' same game!

Hey, it's all good. What happens on Fark.com, stays on Fark.com.

/sick of that shiat already

I knew that would get someone, it is not a moot point.

(this is more just an annoying expression than a cliche): "I couldn't give a rat's ass!" or, conversely, "I could give a rat's ass!"

What's so special/not special about a rat's ass?

can someone tell me what 'one off' means ?

Joey2Cool,

Thanks! I haven't seen that dude in ages!

best...headline...evar

"The lead dog has the best view."

It also is the first in the crevace.

moot point = it doesn't matter, Valid?

And people who don't know how to use "comprise" are quite irritating.
