My boss says "six one way, half a dozen the other" entirely too much.

There are probably a few more I can't think of right now that agitate the shite out of me.

It's really easy to point out problems. How about you geniuses tell us how to convey in non-offensive terms the message each one of your hated phrases are used to impart.
Give us the hated phrases that melt you snowflakes and then give the safe words that can be used in their place.

We did this all the time in my last corporate job. We had meeting about meetings there. It was awful.

Champion, example:

Boss: We are going to roll out this new protocol, who wants to champion this?
Kiss arse employee: I'll champion it sir!!!

Is it so hard to say who wants to take the lead or be in charge of this?

Other one is "typically". I don't care what you typically do, what do we need to do right now for this specific situation?

Sounds like somebody needs brain dump after a little blue sky research. Hopefully you can change the paradigm shite to align synergies.
