What are some buzzwords you can't stand?

[shattered world]

Mine is "deep dive". I've had clients who use this buzzword and it makes me just want to close the meeting right then and there.

Give me some buzzwords ya'll hate.

"Innovative" - really, very few things today is Innovative.

GEO, AIO, AEO...

Also, "humanize" (the content), this is beyond infuriating for me, I feel like punching the person using this word, right through my screen...

"POV": Heavily overused in short-form videos where it often fails to represent a true Point of View.

I’m circling back to tell you that if I have to hear one more person say they’re going to touch base while I’m just trying to get through the day, I might actually lose my mind. It’s all just empty corporate fluff designed to make people feel like they’re doing something productive when they’re really just wasting everyone’s time.

And don’t even get me started on the absolute delusion of people acting like every basic task is world-class or innovative. You’re not reinventing the wheel, Dave; you just updated a spreadsheet. It’s not AI-powered, it’s a basic formula that’s been around for decades.

It’s all just performative storytelling that makes me want to slam my laptop shut and walk out of the room. I’m not here to be part of your growth-hacking nightmare or your deep-dive nonsense. I’m just trying to get through the work without being smothered in this load of absolute waffle.
