Probably about the time some one started using "old school". Nearly as annoying as "for sure"

My work is full of this kind of bullshit these days - "can we sync on this", "how are we showing up in this area" and "I'm going to double-click into this" are some of the worst I've heard quite a bit recently. Usually seems to be the kind of people whose only job seems to be setting unnecessary meetings to "run through a deck" that I've already seen a million times before.

Reminds me, when the frig did a departmental meeting at work become a sodding “Town Hall”? My last 2 companies have used this stupid description. I bet its another **** Americanism

Yes, I worked for an American company and we had this, so those climbing the greasy pole could fellate the Senior Vice President. The same company cancelled its Christmas party because it hadn't hit its sales target.

when I was in senior posts at work on occasion I sent emails back to the author stating " I don't understand this, can I have an explanation please" if it was too full of jargon and nonsense
