1. Corporate Buzzwords

If you’ve ever sat through a work meeting and heard things like “synergy,” “bandwidth,” “let’s circle back,” or “Let’s drill down and do a deep dive into the core metrics before we reinvent the wheel,” you know the pain.

2. “Alpha Male”

Sure, buddy.

3. “I’ve Done My Research”

…when the “research” is just a five-minute YouTube video.

4. “We’ve ALWAYS Done It That Way”

Congrats on embracing obsolescence!

5. “I’m Just Being Honest”

Usually, code for “I’m about to say something rude and not take accountability for it.”

6. Randomly Bringing Up Astrology

“I’m a Libra, so…” (So what?!)

Not to be confused with the truth.

If you have to ask, then no, and now I don’t care.

Try telling that to someone drowning in bills.

Translation: “I don’t want to admit I said something awful.”

Stop. Just stop.

15. “I Probably Shouldn’t Say This, But…”

Then don’t.

16. “I Don’t Usually Write Reviews…”

But you’re about to, aren’t you?
