Words you hate?

More pronunciation than words but people who say days of the week with “Dee” at the end rather than “day”. It’s Friday, not “Fridee”.

Guilty!

Sa’dee is my favourite day of the week

Business speak, especially the word 'cascade'. Apparently it means when management have information they want to get to the staff it gets passed down through the various levels of hierarchy or 'cascaded' down. Fucking annoys the shit out of me. As does "Lets take this issue off-line" which essentially means "Lets stop talking about it in the meeting and discuss it afterwards! Bullshit bingo is alive and kicking in my office!

Totally agree. Some others are “thanks for the heads up” and “it’s on my radar” and “low hanging fruit”

If we're taking business speak, then currently my most hated word is 'onboarded'.

As in, let's get that new starter onboarded.

Same. We're obviously not from the posh parts.

What’s pissing me off just now, I’ve got special permission to do whatever, what’s the difference to just having permission ffs you self-centred cunts.

Anything that comes out of Jermaine Jenas’ mouth

During the PSG game he must have referred to City as Ci.ee at least twenty times. Micah does it a lot as well. I know T-glottalization is very prevalent these days but it does grate on me (being of the older generation) when heard repeatedly every few seconds. The odd thing is, that just once or twice, he did pronounce it correctly.
