Sayings You Hate.

"NO PROBLEM"

Your fucken right its no problem. I am sitting here giving you my hard earned money, I ask for a glass of water and you tell me no problem.

I call for customer service and ask a simple question and you tell me no problem, your fucken right its no problem, I give you 100s a month to talk on this phone.

You finish giving me a BJ, I say thank you, and you say no problem?

It seems for 10 years now everywhere you go the person taking your money answers "no problem" and it drives me nuts.

What ever happened to thank you?

I guess it is what it is

My son always says "it is what it is" and I hate that also. I've told him that things are the way they are because of the choices we've made in life. A lot of people who say that don't understand this.

The bottom line is

Whatever

"Let's circle back with stakeholders and level set any low hanging actionable items to make sure net-net we have the bandwidth at the end of the day to take this thing to the next level."

Etc.

You must work where I work. LOL
I hear this kind of mumble jumble all the time.

"NO PROBLEM"

For whatever reason this one is cross cultural, the identical phrase is common in many languages.

Sunil Joshi (CTV NEWS sports guy) always says "TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT NOW". Can't he just tell us all about it now without actually saying "tell you all about it now"?

 

[Fathomabove]

I have always hated 'exact same'. Do you mean it is identical or is it possible to be the same but different? The media is one of the worst offenders.

He wants to have his cake and eat it. If I have a cake, I would assume I would want to eat it.

This ^^^^

I hope you proactively pushback and become an enabler for disambiguating best-practices in your centre of excellence, it is a strong ask, jargon shouldn't be a core-competency.

yolo, swag and no offense, but...

if you have to start something by saying no offense, you are about to be offensive.

For a while there, I thought you were going ethnic.
Here is another one which I sometime use as a bit of a joke. We expect everybody here to give "120%".

nah, i see the yolo shit every where, it's annoying. swag is just as bad, like "who needs an education when you have swag". i hate those people.

Simon, unlike some people here, I know you can take a joke.
I still get called "governor" or "bossman" by some folks. Not sure exactly what they mean but so far no harm has come to me so I guess it is harmless.

I call guys boss all the time when i know my interaction with them will be minimal and i don't care to learn their name.

My Dad says "irregardless" quite frequently. Drives me nuts.

 

[opieshuffle]

anyone who answers a question with "So..." ARGH!!! Fucking corporate personnel or television talking head BS. Drives me mental.

 

[swanky]

Take a downer folks. Spoken language in all languages is filled with meaningless fillers. How it's said carried the meaning and intent. In some sense, it's necessary that they are devoid of any specific meaning.

 

[simon482]

Guesstimate. I hate that fucking word.
