There are some phrases that get to you. Normally it is business speak and sports analogies and terms like 24/7/365, 110% etc.

My painful phrase of the week was a techie using the term 'double-click' NOT meaning it literally, but rather meaning: to go deeper into a topic, to get more information, or to pause on a topic to discuss more.

E.g.

You mentioned one of the new features was Foo. Can we double click on Foo and go into detail?

I wanted to right-click and delete the guy every time he used this phrase :/
