*the 40 yard dash to profitabilityit soon became under the breath jokes like:

THE 40 YARD DASH TO PROFITABILITY!!! That's the worst thing ever. Besides my old boss calling an Excel spreadsheet the "Business Architecture Stack." Ugh!
He was the king of buzzwords. He also used to say things like, "Your check is coming soon" and "We're all in a tight spot right now" and "Sorry we cancelled your health insurance without telling you."

Also, does the widespread misuse of apostrophes drive anyone else completely nuts?

"bells and whistles"

i hate when my boss says things like "we are totally screwed" not exactly the confidence you want out of a leader.

i hate it when people say "Hey, check out the cripple" behind my back. Like a missing arm is something to laugh about.

dopepope hit the nail right on the head. here's another: nuckeelar instead of nuclear. wtf?
wow if anyone ever asked if they "could borrow me a dollar" i would have to laugh in their face and walk away.

I'm with you shotgunflat. It seems like if people don't know how to properly construct a sentence, they'll throw in an apostrophe and a couple of commas "just in case."

toastie are you really missing an arm?

had a coworker who would call restarting her frozen computer "crashing down."
If anyone is copying a file to me, i have to crash down. So try resending.
