- Ten of the most unconvincing movie couples of all time—including these two. (Flavorwire)
- Shoes and free puppies? How on God’s green earth is one expected to resist? (Racked NY)
- Twitter goes down; anarchy follows. (EW)
- A bunch of phrases you hear in meetings with the guys in corporate I’ll be happy if I never hear again. (Two personal faves: ”circle back with me,” and “loop me in.”) (HuffPo)
- Yuck, yuck yuck and yuck. (The Cut)
I’d like to add “On the same page” to phrases I’d be happy to never hear again.
How about “grab a drink/coffee” or “What’s up?” when answering the phone..The worst is when your spouse or significant other answers your call that way…GGGrrrrrrrrr
Oh yeah, how about “At the end of the day”
That one makes me cringe. Said by those who can’t think past the end of the day.
I was interested in the 10 movie couples, but not enough to click a bunch of times.
This must be an ad revenue thing, because almost every website does this, and I for one am just saying no. (It could be the miggie I have this morning. I am a Grumpy Gus.)
I had to bring a definition of bandwidth to a meeting to get people to stop saying it – it doesn’t apply to PEOPLE!
If I ever hear the term “vis a vis” again, I will laugh at the sheer pretension of using it, then kick the person in the shin.
Two that annoy me: ‘send it up the flagpole’, and the low hanging fruit – ‘outside of the box’. Sometimes I’d like people to stay focused on the inside of the box.
How about “robust” when describing a website or software. Robust used to refer to coffee, didn’t it?
The phrase “reach out” always makes me want to gag…as in, “We’ll be reaching out to you after the meeting to touch base”… It’s so fake touchy feely.
