Kill 2 birds with 1 stone; Beating a dead horse; running around like a chicken with its head cut off - so much awful animal imagery.

Mic toss
Someone at work says this on conference calls all the time and it just grates on everyone’s nerves.

"It is what it is".
Also "I could care less" because I grew up saying "I couldn't care less"

"My bad" instead of Sorry, that's my fault.
"No problem" instead of you're welcome.
"I'm good" in response to question such as do you need anything.
I’ve tried to use “you’re welcome” in place of “no problem” and it always feel kind of snippy and passive aggressive to me.

You must really have a difficult time out in the real world of these terms bother you.

Potty.
I hate hearing adults asking anyone over toilet-training age if they “need to go potty”, or referring to themselves in the same terms.

People who refer to their kids with really cutesy sayings, to random other adults -- kiddos, nuggets, etc. Fine if used at home with your kids, super weird if we're at work and I ask how your weekend was and you say "Oh, I took the nugs to see the Bluey stage show -- the kiddos just loved it!" Ma'am you are 42 and this is a business.
People who randomly shorten words. "Sus" instead of suspect, "biz" instead of business, "profesh" instead of professional. A lot of 20 and 30 something professional men speak this way at work. It is grating. Just say the whole word, you don't sound cool when you do this.
The word adulting.
Lots of corporate speak. Hate the word "deliverable" (what are we delivering?). Also circle back, out of pocket, others. Just a lot of words that have no meaning or are easier said with regular language, again thrown around to make someone seem "with it" but having the opposite effect, IMO.
I think I love you.

There are a ton, but basically all stupid abbreviations. Also yas, especially if it has more than one s.
PP here and yes, all of those. Hubs/hubby is horrible to me, also hate wifey. Again, people can use any term of endearment they want when speaking directly to their kids/spouse, or with family, but this language from people I barely know is so irritating, it makes me think less of them.

The only person whoever said "that's dope" and it didn't sound cringe to me was Pepa from Salt and Peppa. You need to be from Queens or Brooklyn and had grown up there in the 80s to say this and not sound stupid.

"Same difference". Unless we are speaking about two subtraction problems, its lazy language.
