Hardcore. Suddenly everything that you do/finish/accomplish becomes hardcore.

WTF

it's "touch base" not "touch bases".

regardless, it's equally pointless and annoying.

what about "go-getter"?
so, you're a go-getter? how about you go and get the fvck outta my office. kthxbye.

"Going Forward"

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

 

[rh71]

not that I can't stand it,... just over-used... level-set

touch-base is something I despise.

utilize
synergy
many people who refer to themselves/get referred to as a "_____ professional" or "____ engineer" that don't really deserve the title
i___ (iMac, iPod, iRiver, iAmAMoronWhoDoesn'tKnowWhenASuccessfulMarketingCampaignIsGettingOldAndLame)
e____ (this one is dying, thankfully)
In many cases X/XP (X800XT...now with 100% more X right out of the box!) Apparently X is the "coolest" letter in the Roman alphabet, but it sure is beaten into the ground
Xtreme...the regular word doesn't bug me that much even though it is overused

in fact, I hate most deliberate misspellings in product names to make them more "cool" (Aztek comes to mind...)

Blast, nevermind.

unquote

I cannot believe people use that:
<quote></unquote>

It's END quote... NOT unquote... unless they are undoing the quote!!!

and...'quality time' is sickening.

"proactive".... it just really pisses me off for some reason

 

[KoolAidKid]

downselect

"At the end of the day, ..."

Concur

[DeafeningSilence]

Phrases I hate:

Ping me (instead of "IM me") - do people outside my company use this?

Shoot me an email (instead of "send...")

Leverage that resource (umm... "use"?)

 

[Lumathix]

"make it happen"

 

[DeeKnow]

core competencies?

 

[Amused]

Dynamic

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

Just grab some from here:

I saw this: "Walk the Talk"

Hating it already.

 

[her209]

'Assume the position'

 

[TwiceOver]

Any word spoken with 'zz' in it.

FoShizzle
Hizzy
etcizzy

All those stupid rap terms.

 

[shilala]

I hate... "Thanks in advance". It's presumptuous, pretentious, and just plain rude.
How bout... "Fvck you in retrospect". Now that's right on target
