Worked with a guy - owner of the company - whose go to statement was "I don't know, you know. Whatever." He took it to the level of explaining in a weekly meeting with sub-contractors where he said said "yeah, that guy said he removed us from their approved vendor list because of professional indifference. I mean, you know, I don't even know what that means. Whatever."

Business and jobs declined, as expected. I left and started my own business. My conversations with their former clients regarding my previous employer and his level of incompetence have been very interesting, and I quickly learned how to diplomatically throw an idiot under the bus.

Getting a “glow up”.

Calling a song a “banger”.

Saying an album or movie just “dropped”. Just say “was released”.

Commentators or tv shows that claim some thing is "countless". 99% of the time, unless you're talking about sand, it's countable with a little effort.

Tell me you _____ without telling me you ________. That is obnoxiously played out.

After four pages, what I’ve learned is that there is no sequence of words in the English language that will not annoy at least one OT poster.

"and oh, by the way"

say something is "fire"

"I just can't wait to see ....." Well, I guess you absolutely will have to wait.
