I hate this word...

I had one "boss" who began each message with "Folks."

Then his two boot-licking toadies began to start their messages the same way. I refused to drink the Kool-Aid, so when the layoffs came around, guess who got squeezed out of a job.

I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have been kissing his ass like my two sniveling colleagues. Hindsight is not often better -- it just keeps you up at night.

I HATE messages that begin with "Folks."
 
I agree with the OP, but would include "film camera" too. What I find distasteful is the idea that digital technology has to replace other technologies.

I'm none too keen on proactive and "going forward". The language of consultants. However, like or loathe, we have to get used to the fact that once a word or phrase is in common usage, we're stuffed., init.
 
Downsizing, as in "you're sacked"
Smartsizing, as in "you're sacked"
Rationalisation, as in "you're sacked"
Modernisation, as in "you're sacked"


Consultation, as in "you're sacked, but a bit later"
 
Key light?

Oops. That told me.

I'll have to revise - I hate the word 'key' when managers use it to mean "quite important". Especially when it's over-used during a really dull company briefing!

PS - Thank you for all the information on your site, I've learning quite lot from it :)
