Being in any kind of marketing we see this shit all the time, but there's two special ones lately that have annoyed the shit out of me:

-"Robust"
-"Logistics"

Every trucking company is now a "logistics" company, and everyone is using "robust" to describe just about anything that is mediocre-to-good.

Had to get that out there, God Damn it's making me mad.
 


the one i hate the most is "reach out"

Example: "Hi it's Sarah I just wanted to "reach out" to you about your campaigns."

All of my account managers at ad networks and affiliate networks started saying "reach out" the same week. It's like someone put out a worldwide memo.

second most hated buzzword: "epic"

- bilateral as in: "we will have to discuss this bilaterally later" (WTF? Do you even know what that word means?)
- social media presence
- web reputation

I think we need to pull up, have a conversation, and get our arms around the situation. From there we can grab the low hanging fruit, make sure we don't drop any of the crystal balls. After that we can go over our lessons learned and go from there.
 
A pet peeve of mine is the sports - related buzzphrases

"now the ball is in their field" - AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!
