Corporate speak/expressions heard in the business world

This drive anybody crazy besides me? I've heard some funny ones at meetings, but for the most part I get annoyed by the same old tired expressions I always hear:
"circle back"
"reach out to"
"table this "
But on occasion I hear one that I wouldn't mind recycling:
"I'm out over my skis on this"
"The camel's head is already in the tent"
What's some good one's you've heard? I'm gathering expressions to go all out at the next meeting.
"circle back"
"reach out to"
"table this "

"Rechallenge" a stupid idea didn't work the first time, but we're trying it again.

I was in a meeting a year or two ago with some rural business owners. One of them kept accusing some other company of trying to "Jew them down" on their quote. Everyone in the room except the two of them were aghast.
Not what you're talking about, but it made me think of that incident.

After people have already wasted 15 minutes of meeting time, they decide to discuss it "offline"

I’ve heard the term referenced for 20+ years, but still don’t know what a ‘white paper’ is.

Leverage our verticals.

I had a squadron CO who always said "We're in it to win it." This really started to grate on my nerves. "Hit it out of the park" is another one that's overused.

The worst are the shitty stuff motivation people come up with. I attended a leadership conference that actually had some solid speakers, but one was a platitude shouting dumbass. I especially cringed when he kept shouting and writing GETMO!!! GOOD ENOUGH TO MOVE ON...GETMO GETMO!!! Yea because you are the first person to suggest that soemtimes a project does not need to have more resources sunk into it.
He also introduced BEND THE CURVE....basically doing something well with fewer resources...kept shouting it and holding for applause like he just invented the concept

"Me and my old lady" has come back into vogue at the last Corporate speak conference I went to in the Convention Center in Las Vegas.
