'Advanced stats' or 'analytics' for something that's not advanced or complicated in any way. Typically overused in the context of sports where people think they're smart for looking at something that's been widely known for at least 10 years (per possession statistics in basketball, for example) but I heard it used earlier today at work when someone was told to "run the analytics".

Heard this ad on a podcast and it was like a greatest hits anthology of every annoying business catchphrase of the last five years.

Hi Tom Bodett for Motel 6 with a word for business travelers. Seems business has its own language these days full of buzzwords. Like buzz word. Or net net. And after a day spent white boarding a matrix of action items and deliverables, it's nice to know you can always outsource your accommodation needs to the nearest Motel 6. You'll get a clean comfortable room for the lowest price - net net - of any national chain. Plus data ports and free local calls, in case you tabled your discussion, and need to reconvene off line. So you can think of Motel 6 as your total business travel solution provider, vis-à-vis cost effective lodging alternatives for Q1 through Q4. I think. Just call 1800 4Motel6 or visit motel6.com. I'm Tom Bodett for Motel 6, and we'll maintain the lighting device in its current state of illumination for you.

Yes, the internet has been terrible lately. Every link from facebook is to something with pop-ups, slide-shows, numbered lists of things, or shocking stuff I'll never believe -- often all of the above.

I just mean that I know that it's bad. As in, if I hear that someone throws shade at someone, it's not a good thing. But I'm not quite sure I understand what constitutes shade. Up until the headline posted above, I thought it meant staring someone down with the evil eye, type thing.
