I've developed a hatred for the phrase "quid pro quo" which has seemingly become ubiquitous since the Trump Ukraine story blew up and now it's being dropped into conversations all over the place.

Sit tight.

Quite literally.

'My truth' / 'I speak my truth'
I have no idea what that means.

The Nal

"End of play" instead of "close of business".

Or even worse, "EOP".

Nigel Fairservice

A lot of words used in Buzzfeed articles like slaying or clapping back. Drives me mad.

It always reminds me of Silence of The Lambs: 'Quid pro quo, Clarice'

Yet, "close of play" is a perfectly serviceable expression. (agree that "end of play" is just a bastardisation of it really, and is abominable).

One corporate phrase I hate is “thought leader”. You can be certain that the people who use that phrase to describe themselves havent had an original thought in their cretinous lives, never mind leading other people’s ideas.

A friend of mine who is pretty high in a multinational (but one of the good uns) either will throw the CVs of self described “thought leaders” in the bin or ask them in an interview what “thoughts” they have actually come up with, normally to stunned silence. One guy just left.

Thought leaders can’t remember what thoughts they came up with, self serving spokesmen do, thought leaders are too busy thinking of their next thought. While one of the good ones and his mate talk about them.

“As you do”

Seems to have died off thankfully.

Your Face

The misuse of the word "bespoke"
Unless its tailored to my exact individual specifications - its not bespoke.

Most are tolerable as long as not continuously repeated by the same person, but anyway;

People saying "cheap at half the price" yes, when you half something it's generally a good bit cheaper.

Correct form "cheap at twice the price" being so low even doubling it doesn't make it expensive.

Gwynplaine

Isn't it well for ya, or, isn't it well for some. Hate it.

Yeh, but the original is a joke. It’s saying the item is expensive.

Reading in the paper today how a utility company messed up some customers. When the journalist approached the company they said they were "reaching out" to the affected customers. FFS. Absolute bullsh!t speak.

Unpack.

"let's unpack the pseudointellectual statement I've just come out with"


Bags are unpacked. Nothing else.

There is a woman in work who has the Liam Gallagher disease of ending every sentence with "do you know what I mean ? "

If you read a story in the paper about someone being strangled to death by a co-worker, that'll probably be me . How I haven't snapped yet is beyond me.

FishOnABike

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye....
FFS do you answer the phone with hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello....

To me it comes across as being so rude and dismissive almost as if saying - I'm finished with you now go away and don't be bothering me.

cj maxx

We go again - all these beardy soccer players say that now !

People who introduce themselves on the phone by saying "Hello, hi" It pisses me off big time!!

I worked with a girl who always finished with " do you know what I mean "
Eventually over time it got shortened so every sentence ended with something that sounded like " Jameen "

did i mention 32 bits/ 64 bits rather than 32/64 bit in windows or pc terms

And people who say the name end of each sentence. "I did pat. I went to the bank pat and i asked for the manager pat and i told him i am not happy pat and he said you can close your account pat"
---

And also so i did/so he did. "i went to the disco with my friend so i did and he asked a girl to dance so he did, and she danced with him all night so she did"

Nigel Fairservice

More of a word than an expression but I hate the word prep. It will always be prepare to me.

"a bite to eat"

A persons use of it is instant verification that they are an absolute bell end.
