Fixed Income.

I keep hearing it from seniors. No senior lives on a fixed income; they get automatic COLA.

If your talking about working people, then someone who is not allowed to work overtime is on a fixed income.

The other phrase that raises my blood pressure is "Ya undrstan wat i'm say'n?" Yeah, baby.

like
you know
um
any modern words that mash others together, e.g., "foshizzle". What the fuck does that mean? Why do the software writers, who are in their 30's and supposedly adults, continue to use words that make them sound ... less than professionals.

I could go on, yet I would probably be labeled a prude.

"Business speak" is the only thing that actually gets on my nerves.



"We'll take this offline"

"I'll ping you after the con call"

"We can leverage our in-house talent"

"Let's go after the low hanging fruit"




Shit like that.




It's insulting to me, because the speaker obviously thinks very little of my intelligence. Why else would they presume I'm impressed by nonsensical bullshit like this?




I've read entire emails that went on for 3 pages, when a single paragraph could have conveyed the exact same message. Some folks have forgotten how to communicate ideas. I just want to grab some of them by the neck and say "Stop trying to sound smarter than you really are, and speak like a normal fucking human being".

When people use the word "flavor" to describe a variety of anything but food. Such as:



"Durr what's your favorite flavor of AR? Hurr!"

"Give back".

"Price point"

I do understand that language and slanguage both are constantly evolving/devolving.

"boss", especially when my actual boss calls me "boss". I have essentially taken that title from him he no longer has my respect.

I hear it all the time from people as a replacement for "sir", as in "can I help you find something sir?" or "have a good day sir", they can leave out the "sir" just don't substitute it with "boss".

LOL... sounds like you and my wife work for the same outfit.

A couple that I hate: "form factor".  If you want to say that laptop A is smaller than laptop B, just say it's smaller.  Don't say "it has a smaller form factor".

Also, "pre-planning".  I thought you prepared for something by making a plan.  Carrying out that task is called "planning".  Is "pre-planning" what you do before planning?  Is there a pre-plan that comes before the plan?  "Co-conspirator" bugs me for much the same reason.
