    "You know so and so has a background in tech....."

    Normally accompanies a new staff introduction. Is intended to bring me some sort of consolation, but really makes me see what other things I can lock down for said user because, yeah, been there, done that....

    Corporate marketing buzzwords....

    Re-imagined: As in "We re-imagined your banking experience". Seems every ad uses this made-up word now.

    Thoughtfully designed. Oh, I'm so glad you thought about it when you designed it.

    Yes to this. Also, product names that are supposed to sound modern and come across as sounding ridiculous. I've made these up but you get the idea...

    detergent with new CentrForce Technologi
    Litebanc cash machine
    GreedMunkii app
    Phunn1PRO game pass
    HappiOnion meal kits
    makeup with the new SkinH2O matching system

    Make it stop!
