My annual list of words and expressions to retire in the new year:
Gifting – what is wrong with “giving”?
Umami – Soon Mcdonald’s will tout its special sauce as umami.
Pivot – can’t we just change?
Special sauce – only belongs on a Big Mac
Literally – it never is
Toolbox – should only refer to a box of screwdrivers, wrenches, and such
G.O.A.T.-how about just “the best”?
“Take it offline”– are you going to use carrier pigeons?
Gaslighting – honestly, people are just paranoid
Brainstorming – sounds like a hangover to me
“It is what it is”– Descartes did not say this (o.k. maybe Sartre)
“Reach out”– call, email, or communicate will do
What would you add?
