[Yambag]

Left education and transitioned back into corporate.  The one term that I hear over and over that I never used to hear is "pain points".  It's so bad, I have started to incorporate it into my meetings just to amuse myself.

I used "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" in a meeting just before we all started working from home last March.  There seemed to be stunned silence before one person asked what that meant.  ??  I assumed this was a widely known phrase that wouldn't cause confusion, nor stabby reactions.  None of the ~10 people in the room had heard it before (Midwest, ages between 35-60).  

Fast forward and it now seems to constantly be used in departmental circles.  I blame myself and cringe inside when I hear it.  I even read it on a coworker's slide presentation recently.  The phrase was fine...now I want it to die a slow death.

Humblebrag......another retire worthy phrase

 

[Keerock]

How about “hubs”?

If something was perfect and you have zero suggestions to improve it. Let’s say you ordered an app from a restaurant and everyone is raving about good it is, someone might say “No notes. None.” Just means it was perfect as is.

"Run it back".  Very common in the sports talk world right now and I find it to be trite.

Example:  "Tom Brady is decided not to retire and wants to run it back with Tampa".  Dumb.

Also the "x room" e.g. "Excitement is building in the new-look Bills quarterback room" when talking about a position group. It's constant now, and annoying.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I’m not in here often but I presume No Cap has been nominated

OMG I am so glad someone else noticed this and is annoyed by it.  Also, the use of "the building" to refer to the team's facility.  

I listen to quite a bit of NFL Radio on SXM and these terms are non-stop.

but but but we were annoyed with "receving core" so instead of fixing the word they went straight to "receiving room" so at least they're trying?

 

[Ilov80s]

I think we all agreed a few months ago that we love no cap and are saying it all the time. We hope our teenage kids never stop saying cap and no cap.

Why do teenage girls always hang out in odd numbers?

Because they can't even.

I would have to Googlez, but I think this is derived from the Baptist religion. No, really.

"I appreciate you"

Oh god, we've been making fun of this one around the 4 household a lot lately, though we say it, " 'ppreciate you" since that's what I've heard. Drives me batty.

I actually contemplated starting a thread on "how do you say "I appreciate it'". I know, for me at least, it's definitely "'preciate it", and most folks in my age range would be the same.
