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?

touch base

This is the most used in my company by far.
Except no one spaces the two words. To this day, I have no clue on what is the correct version.

I like your style. You have impressive moves. They are quite amazing. Why don't you come over after work.

I catch myself saying "Jesus frickin' Christ lady". Work with a bunch of lazy counts and then when I get to solve an issue with the gen. public or our customers they're typically dumb counts too.

Honestly, I hear a lot of these catch phrases at work but none bother me except for:

"Please advise."

What the frick lady? Are we trying to sound all official? Like the NSA? Or robots?

Can you talk to me like a normal fricking person please? Because you know that 10 minutes after typing out that sterile assed email you're going to be in my cube talking to me about your kids and your migraine headaches like we are bestys. So make a choice godamit...either join the bourg or act like a fricking normal person you twat.

WHOO! Really needed to get that off my chest. Thanks OT.
