So annoying I think I need to start a "Buzzword Bingo". Here are some of our gems. Actually, I have never uttered any of these. But I say us because we all work at the same place.
HERE ARE SOME POPULAR ONES:
- Straw Dog
- Sound Byte
- Let's tee that up later
- Let's take this offline
- Download
- Deeper Dive
- Noodle
- Key initiatives
- Key metrics
- Key objectives
- ANY phrase with "KEY" in it
- Circle Back
- IN TERMS OF
- Piecemeal
- Verbiage
- Nomenclature
- Essentially
- Things of that nature
- NUGGET
- Choiceful
- Adjacencies
- ROBUST
- Synergies
- Low hanging fruit
I cannot believe how frequently these are all repeated on a daily basis. After I even hear one of these words come out of someone's mouth, my attention span goes down the tubes. I think I hate "Straw Dog" and "Let's tee that up later" the most. DUMMMBBBBBBBBB

Ha ha! Sounds like normal convo with my hubby! After 12 years at KC it must be sinking in... my personal favorite is low hanging fruit. I used to use it to make fun of him when ever I got a chance but now I just say it. Too funny.
Jason says LOW HANGING FRUIT? I'll have to have a talk with him when I visit, because it's totally unacceptable. ;)
I love your list. Most cringe-inducing for me is 'choiceful.'
Fortunately I get slapped if any of these words pass my lips at home.
