In this vein, the whole "momma bear" thing absolutely infuriates me. Shut up, mini-van-driving soccer mom.arrow1 said:Women who use the term "momma." For example: "This momma has had enough," for you mommas out there"
I don't know why, but I dislike it a lot.

What the heck is that?Boil the Ocean. It just doesn't get any more business cliche than that.
A term that the mid- to upper- level management feels the need to utter when introducing any new features to our software. Roughly translated - create the most viable product, don't try to deliver to the customer everything they could possible need for that feature.What the heck is that?
can apply to anything - it's basically saying "don't take on too much"What the heck is that?
It makes no sense. It's gotta go.can apply to anything - it's basically saying "don't take on too much"
agree that it's gotta go, I hate it too, but I wouldn't say it doesn't make senseIt makes no sense. It's gotta go.

9.5 months is plenty, imo.I'm tired of hearing the phrase "unprecedented times". At what point does unprecedented finally become precedented?
I would mind more if it weren't so accurate.I'm tired of hearing the phrase "unprecedented times". At what point does unprecedented finally become precedented?
Most of mine start, "Go to hell, AAA!" so consider yourself fortunate.For some reason, I'm noticing a big uptick in emails that begin with "I hope this email finds you well." If this came from a complete stranger, I would write it off as an awkward attempt at a neutral/professional-sounding salutation, but these are people who I've worked with for years. What's wrong with "Good morning, Ivan" or "Hi, Dr. Karamazov" or something like that? So strange to see people use "I hope this email finds you well" unironically.

It's a word with a meaning. Just because the letters "men" "his" "he" or other male term appears in the word, it does not mean the word is sexist.

I'll use it in a sentence....huh?
I like say the Steelers dropped half a hundred on the Browns.I'll use it in a sentence....

Works even better when you are sending an email late in the afternoon.Actually, since I started working from home, I’ve been using “good morning” when emailing customers.
