Game changer
It is what it is
Let's unpack this
Big picture
Thw worst to me is the thing they do where they follow a statement they made or when responding to someone else's statement with the word (right), but pronounced with the inflection "Ryy-ayt"

Parking lot
I also hate that the word “collaborate” MUST be used at all times instead of just work together

Is there anything more vague and tired as "We exceed our customers expectations."?

I used this one already today. Here are some translations for those of you that are lucky enough to avoid this:
We needed to get a t-shirt sized estimate for a proposed change to determine if we have the bandwidth to pivot.
Translation: We need to figure out how badly this will rape our schedule. Why didn't you idiots make this a requirement when you had the chance? Now we have to salvage our build somehow while meeting this new demand you pulled out your arse months after the deadline
Let's do a Deep Dive on that
Translation 1: I have no idea what you are saying, and I can't figure it out despite your repeated attempts to educate me. So You are going to have to hold my hand through this and explain it to me like I'm 5.
Translation 2: You couldn't be more vague on this if you tried.
Can you double click on this?
Translation 1: Can you provide more clarity here? I'm confused and I'm too afraid to say it.
Translation 2: Can you waste time on this unclear ask for me? I haven't delayed you enough and I want to really break your schedule.
Let's circle back on this.
Translation: Sir, this is a Wendy's. Text me later and I'll tell you where you can find your head. Would rather not embarrass you in front of this whole room
Low Hanging Fruit
Translation: Let's do the easy shite first.
Suggest we take this conversation offline.
Translation: Meet me at Sonic, motherfricker

Hey
As in the following:
"If I want that to go right, I'm going to say, 'Hey - we need that to go right' "
or
"If someone is having a problem I expect them to say 'Hey, I'm having a problem'"
Maybe that's just around my company...it's annoying.
