What is everyones catch phrase they hate to hear..

At work we have a guy that says "It's like catnip..." and he'll list what the current thing is. He is also really big into office space movie quotes....

Glad I have the day off, but he sent me an email this morning it had the catnip quote and I am tarding out and needing to rant.

    It's not a phrase its just a word liberally used in my office and it drives me nuts. "Tasked/Tasking" as in "I'm tasking Joe with researching the new project" "I've been tasked with <insert generally menial office duty here>" I don't know why it bugs me so much- probably overuse...

    I don't even know what "it's like catnip" means.... but it would definitely irritate me. I hope I never hear someone say it. It would go to the top of my list probably.

    "Hot Mess" way overused, and kind of stupid.
    "Tough pill to swallow" - Just kind of lame
    "Chillaxing" - Just plain annoying
    "EPIC". *Sigh* I hate this word.

    "AMAZING"

    Everyone seems to have an AMAZING husband or an AMAZING kid... or that meal was AMAZING... drives me bonkers.
    Amazing= Causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing. Really? 'cuz it was just a fried egg and toast...


    another is "ABSOLUTELY" just say " yes..." people!!!
