Yeah, normal words like "reaching out" (said the way Neil Diamond says it, with some seriousness and a straight face). It turns professional life into melodrama.

Unsucked:
The mystical location on websites where advertisers want their ads to appear. Originally referred to physical newspapers, which folded in half and made money from advertising. Today, newspapers don’t have advertisers and just fold.

Or just, email me when... or call me when... At least it gives me a hint about the best way to contact you about something.

I know I'm venturing off-topic here, but I believe "above the fold" in the newspaper world referred to story prominence on the front page rather than advertising.
I don't recall, even long ago, seeing ads on real newspapers that were both front-page and "above the fold". I imagine "above the fold" wasn't related to advertising until the web existed.

I used to hate all that nonsense, then at some point in the last 15 years I got assimilated. Though, I still can't understand anything an executive says.

#9I imagine our pointy-haired bosses would appreciate an "unsuck it" for tech jargon, with stuff like:
orthagonal -> unrelated
immutable -> unchangeable
idempotent -> (is there a very short phrase that works here?)
