re: What business phrases do you hear too often at work?

Not something that's said all that much but something that bugs me....safety people saying something was a near miss incident. Isn't a near miss a direct hit?

Nope, a near miss is just that, but often gets treated like a direct hit for that other often used phrase, Lesson Learned.

"shoot a copy" You're not shooting anything.

"From this perspective..."
"Leverage"
"it depends"

As one of the younger employees at work, I laugh at all of the antiquated and overused buzz words in the office.I insert phrases from rap songs as buzz words to see if the older people will pick them up. I actually heard my boss use "some type of way" earlier this week. It makes the day pass quicker!

"one off"

makes no sense
