Not in Canada, boss is a dead giveaway......and if you're not sure call the client "goof". Seem's pretty benign but if you've been in jail in Canada, that's a go.

Almost every guy here says "boss" who is serving you something and can't be tipped

My top 5 worst offenders. I love this topic BTW

- Ironic: 99% of the time used incorrectly. Thank you Anus Morrisette.

- Leadership: I constantly hear this word with some of the insurance companies I offer. " Please speak with your local leadership if you need help" Let's make it clear lady on the phone, I don't have a leader.

- Leverage: "Please leverage our website." F-off.

- Actually: I'm sorry sir, there is not yet a cure for Covid-19. "Actually, the cure for Covid-19 is eating healthy."

- Peeps: "Hi Peeps, I just wanted to say hi." Peeps are a horrible holiday treat and that's that.

And bonus- When people are trying to sound smart while talking and say "right" after each sentence as a segue to their next boring sentence.

More on Leadership...

Thanking people for their leadership.
When an area is doing well it's because of leadership.
When an area is doing poorly, it desperately needs leadership.
A crisis requires leadership.

This word gets broadly applied in a vague manner to so many things, it has no real meaning any more.

Thank you to all that contributed.

Couldn't find this one with a quick glance and surprised it hasn't made the list...

'massive'


The US sends a lot of obnoxious cultural things to the UK, but, this is one where they got us back. It's even a bit of a malapropism when used in most cases since mass is weight.

These, and all the related corporate doublespeak ('drill down', 'close the loop', 'granular level', etc.). Especially people who say things like 'I really like what Bob said' and then go off on a tangent that is the exact opposite or a cutdown.

A close second are all the pencil pushing bureaucrats who try to use 'tough-guy combat talk' like 'send it' 'the sitrep meeting' 'are we status alpha or bravo?' 'boots on the ground' 'do some recon' etc.

Disrupt and it's derivatives

I work for a company that's "disrupting" the industry and I fucking hate that term.

It's used for every god damned start-up that does things differently to traditional business, and everyone is disrupting every business.

I swear if I read one more article on a disruptive company I'll disrupt the writers lifeline!
