I can't take it any more.

Anyone who uses the word 'flavor' in a business meeting, call, or presentation should be shot.

"The next two slides give just a flavor of what we're talking about..."

NO! NO NO NO NO NO! They give a *TASTE*, not a frickin' flavor!

Who the hell started this bastardization, and where do they live so I can go visit them with a steel pipe?!?



I swear to god, anytime someone uses the word, I drop my estimation of their IQ by 10 pts. It's just idiotic.

Last time someone said "let's take this offline" in a meeting, I said "Wow, the resolution on this immersive VR is *STUNNING*... it's almost like we're already in the same room!"

There was nervous laughter.

Meh, I'm OK with taking things offline; it isn't necessarily off the same line as the one from which you get your bits.
