Out of all the crap in this thread, I've only heard "ASAP". In fact, I used that today and got a quick response. Ya'll work in some shite places.

I hear "for the good of the enterprise" so much I think I'm in Star Wars.

Also, "I will reach out" instead of call or email.

Does anyone play office bingo in meetings? We used to do it all the time when I worked in an office.
