I also dislike:
pro-active
family values (or family anything)
The worst one of all.....
"we are out of beer".
pay review speak:
- due to budgetary restraints...
"ping him" - expecially when it is a person that has never "pinged" anything and has no idea where that came from.
reciprocal discretionary alliance ;)
I actually know someone who would probably use such mumbo jumbo.
And, hey, we forgot acronymns! They seem to proliferate like bunnies in certain circles.
The above could become RDA, as in "let's do lunch with Bob and set up an RDA"
You are under arrest.

If you're not the lead dog, you're not providing a customer-centric proactive solution.
Bowman: Does incomprehensibility come naturally to you?Lingua: I wasn't wired that way, but it became mission-critical as I strategically focused on my go-forward plan.

Good Morning - ugh hate em
What's for dinner
outsource
so what is it you do exactly?
I <almost> can't help cracking up when I hear that one!
And "ping" is such a good one. Much better than "finger".
oh yeah, how about "got-cha".
I like hearing it, but I'm now hearing it WAY too much.

"Seamlessly integrate"
chronic clue-deprivation
ROFL! Can just picture the look on the face of somebody suffering from this :)
IMHO
I always thought that was 'honest opinion'?
"Irregardless". :( Oh, its just nauseating. Go back to school!
"Ergonomic". A greatly overused and abused word which has become the pop culture description for almost anything. Lord, I've even seen it used in an advertisement for a child's potty!
"You are sooooo ....". It was cute when it first started, but now all the kids I teach to sail use it in every other sentence. "You are sooooo NOT going to beat me" ... and so on.
"People skills" bugs me too. Its an annoying phrase. A person may interact well or poorly or get along well or poorly or work well or poorly with others ... but this business of saying, "His people skills are laking" is ludicrous. Bunch of namby pamby, generation X, mumbo jumbo!
Tell the S.O.B. the truth! You suck! Nobody likes you and you piss everyone off. Now shape up or ship out!
"User friendly". Was there something wrong with "easy to use"? Is a machine or a device going to become my friend now? Will it buy me a drink?
There was one word (used by a friend the other day and which I can't recall at the moment) ... but it stopped me dead in my tracks and the hair on the back of my neck bristled. Darn it, it was a good one too. I'll think of it later. :)
Its my birthday (don't ask which) ... so running out to meet friends for dinner.
i've posted this to another thread and i feel like an old git, but another one : "we won't exchange links with you at the moment" - my response is: "you di*khead it's PR4 and going to be alot more - gimme a link!" - i need to refine my response a bit but i think that covers the fundamentals!

probably better for foo: I've just got a wireless mouse - everyone should have one - i hate wires! - please recommend a cheap TFT sceen!</added>
