The most annoying pop/modern phrases, cliches' or colloquialism.
Here are just 2 of my choices for most annoying phrases:
"Thinking outside the box"
Possibly the most annoying business buzz-phrase ever dreamed up.
and: "closure"
You get your TV stolen and you need "closure" BRAAACH  |

"At the end of the day", still being used.
"Work flow" and "Reach out to your HR generalist" are pretty bad, too.

Worst one probably is that the customer is always right. I never heard it claimed by a customer who was right.

While grammatically the last one is correct, people really mean to say "I couldn't care less". |

Excpet for Six in one, I agree. Even that should be used sparingly.
Athletisism ( we can do better than that)
Specificity (same as above)
Proactive (meaningless uninformative buzz word)
Eco-Friendly/Green (just another marketing phrase. Stick a picture of a leaf on anything and it automatically makes it single handedly prolonghte life of a snail darter)
To go along with that, these vehicles with the little emissions labels. My Accord is a Super Ultra low emmision vehicle. Come on! Subaru's Partial Zero Emission Vehicle is even stupider. Either its zero or it is some. What is partial nothing?
All that &*%$s gotta stop. Really.
