Oh good this is my trigger in no particular order
- “scaling”
- “flywheel”
- “hyper growth”
- “unicorn”
- “culture”
-“patience”
- “scaling”
- “flywheel”
- “hyper growth”
- “unicorn”
- “culture”
-“patience”
"Culture" translates to "we are going to pay you less but there's a foosball table!"
Or kombucha on tap 😂
and a pingpong table.
Im going to upvote the "unicorn" and add "purple squirrel" They both make me cringe.
Oooo good one with purple squirrel
Purple squirrel is a new one for me - is this the same reference as unicorn?
No. It’s to describe someone looking for something that doesn’t exist.
bingo! All my prospects are looking for the purple squirrel
This is the most accurate list.
Flywheel is only acceptable if you work in a bike shop.
Not a sales one, but it was used incorrectly by one of our VPs in a sales setting.
GVP (65, "good ol boy" type of personality) in a QBR yelled at a female rep to "Stop hiding the salami".
What he meant was "stop sandbagging your forecast" however that phrase does not mean what he thought it meant and it was both hilarious and painfully awkward.

Low hanging fruit puts a picture of saggy balls in my head so I'll go with that.
😂😂😂
Ngl I’ve used circle back in the past with my wife and I absolutely hate myself for it
Time for a vacation
Nice!
"Double click on that"
Oh yeah this one makes me cringe
Ya… and there are so many other things you can describe “going into more detail”.
I use low hanging fruit... "touch base" is another one that I satirically started using but now it's part of my regular vocab.
"Boil the ocean" is another one.
"Boil the ocean" is another one.
I wished there was the option "All of the above" but Synergies just makes me laugh all the time
Idk if this is a buzzword /phrase but lately it's become one because of remote meetings: "Can you hear me okay??"
Can everybody see my screen????
"It is what it is" drives me crazy
Lazy phrase but also sometimes carries a lot of truth
Culture fit
🙄
All of the above... but also, "leaning in"... aaaarghph kill me now
ughhhhhhhhhhh
The one that really gets to me is ‘we need to approach this holistically’
like what the hell does that mean? lol
i have no idea 😂😂
“Another arrow in your quiver”
"Transparency" means they are lying to you or have a hidden agenda. Love transparency!
"High level"
thouching base 🤬
😡😡😡
I say this a lot and i hate it
"think about things a little bit differently" = kill me now
“Double click” when used not to describe actually double clicking…
“Let’s double click on that”
This is my first time hearing that one but it is definitely cringe af. Are they referring to moving forward with something?
Not moving forward with something…more like “let me further explain it to you”
Super cringe, we should RIGHT click that shit and send it to the recycle bin…
people that use “right” where they would normally say “um”
Using spears to kill a whale
“Empowered”, they emptied it of all of its meaning
"Just touching base"
Please don't.
Please don't.
Yes!!!
I am guilty of using and hating most of these... I might need some kind of language therapy to get "low hanging fruit" out of my vocabulary...
