For example, "back in the day" (what does this mean?), "huck", "dude" - all irritate me. Don't know why and don't care, but why not share yours?

"huck", "dude" - all irritate me. Don't know why and don't care,
Huck and dude are words dude, not phrases. Probably not a massive mystery as to why you dislike them.If the word "Huck" was banned tomorrow people would still huck their bikes - they'd just call it a different word, and you'd still be bitter at your innability to do it, dude.
Wonder how long it'll be till some one says "All Mountain".

Dude/huck etc make me smile
uber, on the other hand, makes me mad
there's no logic
("excuse me" makes me randy)

'Swop out'
'At the end of the day'
The use of the word 'fresh' to refer to anything other than fruit or air
'I 'sourced' this, that or the other'
Those are just my top four...

'For sure' as used by just about everyone somehow connected to Formula One.
I think this was started by Schumacher, who could have been forgiven as English isn't his first language. However, it seems that all those whose first language is English are saying it now. Drives me nuts

from our manager at a project meeting yesterday;
"we've got all the quality rocket fuel we need, now it just needs pointing in the right direction"
Is that a reference to Korea? Aa metaphore you hadn't thought through? A sly hint we should all be looking for jobs elswhere at AWE?

"after a robust 360 degree appraisal we are going ahead with blah blah de blah"............eh?
Posted 3 years ago # -
Its a catch 22 situation
Catch 22 is an amazing book by Joseph Heller. "There was only one catch, and that was catch 22". As an example, in the war, you didn't have to fly bombing missions if you were crazy, but Catch 22 said anyone applying to be stood down from bombing because it was driving them crazy obviously had to be sane

I particularly hate management crap.
Recent ones used in my organisation are:
Blue sky thinking - (eh?)
work stream - (instead of project or study)
Thought shower - (a minor brain storm?)
360 degree feedback - (bollocking with the opportunity to give your side of the story)
Feedback sandwich - (bollocking taking this form - praise/bollocking/praise)Posted 3 years ago # -
WTF is a "Thought Shower"???
Is it as good as it sounds or am I just being twisted???
& yeah "pulls up a chair" gets my vote. As does rad, sick, killer etc etc. I maybe just getting old but speak fekking English, grrr, rant, rant...
