- "Proactive" Stupid word. Redundant. Excessive. The proper term is "active."
- "Prioritize" Put "ize" on anything and corporate bafoons take to it like maggots on shit.
- "Productionalize" Ditto.
- "Layoff" If you've been "laid off," you just got bent over and fired.
- "Offline" as in, "Let's talk about this offline." You never hear this while someone's online, so I am not sure what the @#*!$ they're talking about. You mean "Let's talk about this later?"
- "Right size" You've just been laid off, er, fired.
- "Ping me" I'm not a freakin' submarine, nor am I a computer network, so shut the eff up.
- "Grow" when "increase" is meant. As in "grow revenue." Revenue is not a plant that one just plants, waters, feeds, and harvests. It's similar, I guess, but not the same. So, use "increase" when that's what you mean, okay?
- "Going forward" What? You mean "from now on?"
