I remember when I interned at Ford Motor Company, we'd have these meetings where everyone would blab about what they were up to. I swear, I wanted to shoot every person that said [pompous corporate voice] "We're spear-heading the...blah, blah [/pompous corporate voice]

Any annoying corporate phrases bug you?
 
HAH! I get the IT phrases like "the situation is a little PIXELATED". and we'll have to see if he has enough "BANDWIDTH".
 
I HATE BOTH OF THESE: the term "network" used as a verb, as in "network with the execs"

"Think outside the box"

Along with the post above I like that commercial with the guys sitting around the table and the guy with the long hair saying "Think outside the box" and they all make fun of him.
