I saw these too. I think my least favorite is something like "grow the economy" or "grow my business." I also hate "relatable" as in "it's relatable."
I hate "24/7" too. And "think outside the box." But if everyone's doing it, doesn't it just mean it's still in the box?
Saw this as well.
Least favorite: using impact as a verb. And for some reason I also dislike the phrase "stake holders."
I thought a few I don't like but can't remember them. I guess they don't annoy me too badly. However, I did make sure to use at least 5 of these phrases yesterday.
"You do the math."
... Fast forward (some amount of time).
"sea change"
