"Let's go Brandon!" is getting quite stale, as far as I'm concerned. The novelty has worn off. I prefer them to say the real thing out loud, "Fuck Joe Biden!"

Tolerance. I don't know anyone who appreciates being tolerated.

Every time I hear that, it's a euphemism for an ass chewing.

"We Stand in Solidarity with... (who the heck ever)"

Noun: Solidarity, unity of agreement or action. Mutual support.

So you may be in solidarity with, or have a feeling of solidarity, or wish for solidarity, but how do you stand in it?

It's too much. It's a perfectly good word all by its lonesome but your word salad needs dressing so you 'stand' in it.

Could you grovel in solidarity, fart-around in solidarity, hop-scotch in solidarity?

I suppose it's supposed to sound tough-guy-ish but it sounds moronic.

The phrase "if you will" seems to be added as a tag line at the end of a sentence with increasing frequency. Don't know why people do it.

Absolutely. I used to play corporate-speak bingo with some colleagues. "Synergy" was always a popular word that got a lot of wins.

Abundance of caution, equity, diversity, the list could go on and on, but then I'd have to circle back.

Hearing the term "misinformation" all the time is driving me crazy.
Use of the term is misinformation in an of itself .
