It ain't just sports talk. Corporate America is full of that phrase these days. Along with "leverage." And "calibrate" -- as if to understand a point of view or idea, we need to "calibrate."  :whatever:

If I get told one more time to drill something down, well.....I will just spit!

I just saw another one in an online article, "must of".  Why must people use 'should of', 'would of', etc. rather than '... have'? Using 'of' really makes no sense at all.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Let us not forget the use of the determiner, "an" before words that start with a vowel.  Most people, even seasoned Journalists, only use the determiner, "a" before words which start with a vowel any more.  :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

Irregardless, my personal opinion is that these people need to be furled within a sail!! :p

Add "very unique" and "most unique".

There are no degrees of unique.
