There are times when I think there is a contest between the NPR producers to see if they can discover a more irritating "expert" to trot out for a given situation.

This one is fairly recent but drives me crazy. "Let's speak live." How else would we speak?

Okay, I'll link it with the caveat that it's not safe for work/children, contains language. PG13. If it's inappropriate then pull it down, but I just can't stop cracking up over this scene.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves with forward-thinking carve-outs...mmmmmmmm-kay?
That would be so-o-o-o-o badass!

Somebody actually threw out "Get a life" the other day. The original annoying catch phrase hall of fame inductee.

Anything cutesy. Hungry? Get something to eat. Don't tell me you're getting a "snicky-snack". If I ever snap and you hear about me on the news, this will be why. All baby-talk should be banned, IMO, unless one is actually a baby. I love vegetables, but I want to barf every time I hear the word "veggies."

You would've decked the cashier at the grocery store I had a few weeks ago. She scans a donut (or something), and she scrunches her nose and says in a high pitched voice "your little treaty!". At the end was a bunch of bananas, to which she has to loudly exclaim "bananies!"

Kinda like that German word that means "a face in need of punching."

Guess we shouldn't invite you.....

Driving metaphors (I’m guilty of using these): Pick a lane and stick to it. What’s the off-ramp to this plan?

I revived this thread for a new word that doesn’t need to be retired. It needs to be executed in public…
Ideation; as in, “We’re scheduling an ideation meeting.”

Tell them that according to Wikipedia The word "ideation" has come under informal criticism as being a term of meaningless jargon, as well as being inappropriately similar to the psychiatric term for suicidal ideation. 😀

Not so much a phrase but when anyone says a multi-syllable word with a silent "T" somewhere in the middle or at the end. Like "incompe-int." I guess I'm just too old and not gangsta enough. I even hear phone messages on hold in doctor's offices with that. If someone who worked for me, in high-end professional setting like that, were to record a message with that in it, and I heard it, they would be unemployed that day. I wouldn't want anyone to know that I had someone working for me who is supposed to be highly educated and sounds that illiter-i and incompe-int. Don't tell me my call is impor-int when you sound like an idiot. I don't believe you when you don't even care enough to take the trouble to at least SOUND somewhat intelligin-.
Get offa my lawn!

I didn't catch the reason, but I'm sure I would have disagreed with it. How can two words be just fine for 25 years, and then all of the sudden be outlawed? The work of pinheads, I'll wager.

The "pinheads" have quite the assortment of words and phrases on the ever expanding verboten list. I recently heard that the use of analogies is *something*-ist and not to be used in particular fields of writing. Not being able to use a suitable analogy is like....well, you get the picture.

"to be honest with you"... "honestly"... "I gotta be honest with you'...."to be completely honest" etc
Years ago I was stuck in a test drive of a car and the salesman had to have that phrase as a tic. The fact that one is announcing that they are not always honest is obviously stupid.
Also, "I did my own research" means believing randos on the internet.
"Sh*t the bed" is just gross. I go to family dental practice and the father, who I had been seeing for 40 years, has been stepping back as his son, a 30 something who has followed in his father's foot steps as a dentist, takes over. He, the son, used that expression to describe the condition of a tooth that had gone south. I wanted to smack him on the back of his head for sounding like a dope.
