"Gag me with a spoon" as spoken by Moon Zappa in FZ's "Valley Girl"
Yeah I know. That was just an excuse to say 'out of the loop.'

"This is how we do" or "that's how we do". Come on, is it so difficult to complete the sentence with "it"?

I know it's been mentioned, but "bro" and all its various uses, needs to be banned from the English language.

My coworkers. Somehow blessing everything absolves them of being ignorant, two-faced hillbillies. Bless their hearts.
"I'm fixin' ta _____"
"Do what?" instead of "what did you say?"
"If that makes sense" which replaced "ya know what I'm saying?" Used by person who's said nothing confusing or interesting.

Bro or bros, nothing is more pathetic than that! I don't even refer to my own brother as "bro". Give up on that huge douche bag term already.

No, they're just bringing me food and drinks. Letting me crash on their couch, borrow their car and slide on the rent would be taking care of me
"Expresso" drives me wild.
I'm going to preface this next part with an overused phrase...
No offence, but almost every American I've ever met puts 'real quick' on the end of sentences, uses 'see' instead of 'use' or perhaps 'utilise' and 'let me' at the beginning. E.g. "Let me see that lighter, real quick".
Okay, you don't need me to let you see anything, I'm sure you can see it from where you are, and if you want me to pass it to you, I'll do it in my own bloody time.

My wife and I have turned it into a drinking game. Any time this phrase is used, take a drink. This would also include the following versions of this phrase:
"With that being said,..."
"With that said,..."
"That said,..."
To be honest, I use "that said" from time to time (most often on TB).
Yes, yes, yes. I think you've come up with an interesting dynamic here. Let's leverage this to it's maximum potential. Really exploit these concepts and take advantage of the the synergies.
Clearly, it's a win-win that has a lot of swag. So, let's take it to the next level. Sounds good? Set up a webex and include me on the planner so that we start creating some milestones.
So, with that said, at the end of the day, we need to really reach out with some clear goals that will drive growth. As we're moving forward, let's ensure that we're being inclusive as well. We really need to cover the diversity angle.
Let's round up the troops and have everyone lay it out on the table. Sound good?
You know, the scary thing about this is I was watching the micro car episode of Top Gear last night on Netflix, and there's a scene where Jeremy is in on a meeting, and the woman leading it sounded pretty much exactly like this.
Flivver? I had to look that one up?
Anyways, Im about to roll upa jazz cigarette. I mean, this one is a doozy!
Lets say we spark it up and jive on this whole womes suffrage thing a bit...
