I don't know. Seems like if you are waiting for the "but" - it deserves the pause to let it sink in a little.
But, its your world. If you're living the dream, no sense in slowing down for buts.

How about stop asking "How's it going?"
Nobody ever answers that question truthfully and 95% of the time they give the canned "good". I hate being asked it myself. Feels like we are robots.
Instead say "Hi" or "Hey"

I give the "it's going" as an alternative but I've been hearing more people use it now so I think it is time to retire it.

I've used it ironically AND genuinely at the exact same time.
But that's probably not enough points to have my prostate massaged, however.

The only thing I've seen where the Keep Calm thing has been used well is Clarion University. They have a shirt that says "Keep Calm and Clarion".

Western Pa is a cult. And I don't mean that in a positive way.

Every time I hear "Critical" and "Non-negotiable" in the business setting- I have an urge to punch someone in the face.

"Hangry". Heard some trashy whale use this at Del Taco yesterday while ordering.
Whale: What's that burrito you guys have that has the fries in it?
Del Taco Manager: Oh, the epic burrito?
Whale: No. I had it yesterday. Whatever that was (now looking at meth-head boyfriend with neck ink).
Del Taco Manager:
Whale: I dunno, I'm hangry.

And wouldn't you know it, they sit outside at a table next to me. After she inhaled her special burrito she announces "I'm not hangry anymore!". Yes, I envisioned a throatpunch. I am starting to get why millenials wear headphones all the time.

I like hangry. I think its a good term for people's change in behavior when their blood sugar gets a little low and they need some food. Maybe its just because it is common and easily identifiable in my family (myself included)."Hangry". Heard some trashy whale use this at Del Taco yesterday while ordering.

Yeah, while the word sounds stupid, it describes something that could use one simple word for it. My wife and son both get irritable when they're hungry. It drives me nuts enough that I don't mind calling them hangry. It usually makes them smile in recognition or just irritates them more, depending on just how hangry they were to begin with.

Actually saw a sign hanging in my place of work today that said "Stay Calm and Analyze On." I threw up on the spot.

There's a guy in my office amd every time you ask him how he's doing, he answers, "Vertical". One of these days I'm going to change that.

Your word is:

Q: What origin is the word?
A: Corporate.
Q: Can you use it in a sentence please?
A: I do not have the bandwidth to do this, can you own it for me instead?
B-a-n-d-w-i-d-t-h.

Wat??? Who the eff says this? Thank gawd I've never heard this uttered. I'm just constantly bombarded with the usual business jargon on a daily basis.

What? No it doesn't. Get out the vote. What, is it in your pocket so you have to get it out? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Always using 'post' instead of 'after' seems to be popular business jargon these days. "We'll see a movie post dinner."

Still makes sense. The idea is that people go around the neighborhood to encourage other people to vote. Reading comprehension is a good thing.

No. No, we won't.
Could be a good way to screen out people you really don't want to know.
