Hey, at the end of the day, when you drill down, the back story is, it is what it is.....

Related to that, and not necessarily an academic phrase, is "I was not in a good place" or "I'm in a great place", or whatever. That really grinds my gears. It's usually women that use it I have noticed.
But I guess more annoying than the phrase itself is women's constant evaluation of their "place".

No doubt, buddy.

Calling someone buddy always seems passive aggressive to me.

Actual email I recently received:

At least it was comprehensible English. You can't say the same for some academic articles I read, to say nothing of undergrad papers.

That's horrible. Trying way to hard. Is fornicate on the list? I like that word.

Perfect, and I appreciate the granular feedback, but would you mind also providing a 40,000 foot view, since this is more of your wheelhouse? Feel free to push back.

In any of these classes you will find a bunch of kids parrotting words they've heard in the course of their Humanities studies, they often do not have a grasp on how said words are to be used; if, heaven forbid, they actually do know how to use it- said word will be used in nearly every point they make about anything.

wut?
Proper use of a word entails using it with the appropriate frequency and in the correct context; I'm slinging mud on those who fail to achieve one or both of those conditions.

I think the correct terminology for what you're doing is throwing shade.
Please

Perhaps, if I didn't actually use my days off from work to audit English-Lit classes armed with a sack of fresh mud.

Using buzzwords in the business world is far more annoying, but I get your point. At least in a college environment, you know they do it b/c they are as dumb as a box of rocks with no real life experience.
My god, isn't that truth. I've met/interviewed/worked with my fair share of people who attempt to portray their supposed superior intellect with pumped up vocabulary(mostly just buzzwords), but sadly fall flat on their face when they misuse the word or can't complete a sentence without LIKE or UHHH.
