Our morning conference call was filled with "failed to properly escalate the situation". What are the overused business words or phrases where you work?

I'm also thinking "synergy", "think outside the box" and "we need to give 110%".

If we do all the nitty gritty knub work early on this becomes a self-licking ice cream cone.

"Who wants to own that project?"

"It is what it is"

"Let me speak on that for a bit"

"think outside the box"

" behind the scenes " ... from a few of the vp's and the president of the supply chain division. I absolutely hate the idea that they think this gives the impression that they are hard at work.

These threads, when answered seriously, are always interesting and entertaining.

"Reach(ed) out to" annoys me. Just say "email(ed)".
