With every organisational set up having its own corporate jargon to communicate, a Twitter user recently posted a tweet wherein she asked people to talk about their own best phrases used in their office. The question prompted a lot of people to share and a few of them described - "I’m a little confused" as their favourite.
i've recently become obsessed with all the insane corporate ways we say normal things to each other.

"I’m a little confused" is by far my favorite - it's absolute rage masked as a professional pleasantry.

this is when i do my "big ask," right?

You were, in fact, everything but patient.
Can’t think of one at the moment. Why don’t we “put a pin in it?” Better yet, let’s “pencil in a date to meet and discuss”.

We were in a real-life meeting. There's no online or offline.
Guilty! I often say "Sorry for being unclear" when I mean "Christ! How many times do i have to go over this, Mark?"
