At first, euphemisms surfaced in the workplace to help people deal with touchy subjects that were difficult to talk about. Before long, they morphed into corporate buzzwords that expanded and took over our vocabulary until our everyday conversations started sounding like they were taking place on another plane.
I understand the temptation. These catchphrases are spicy and they make you feel clever (low-hanging fruit is a crutch of mine), but they also annoy the hell out of people.
If you think that you can use these phrases without consequence, you're kidding yourself. Just pay close attention to how other people react to your using them, and you'll see that these phrases don't cast you in a favorable light.

These days, workplace conversations can sound like they're taking place on another planet.
Anyone watching Peter Kay's recent UK TV series 'Car Share' would have been served up a very funny example of these meaningless business buzz phrases.
Enough already!
TLAs' buzz words and all the rest can be like a secret code that not everyone understands. You probably know a few people who should have a padlock added to the photo!! Good luck with that!!
