In business, my #1 has got to be "synergy".

"Our various companies under the XYZ umbrella need to work towards more synergies across company platforms"

Almost added that one to my list; it belongs.

Lol, CC mad because his negotiation got more complex than "You teach dodgeball good." Like, words with more syllables than his brain can process and shit! And because he apparently heard "Ineffective rating" about 50 too many times.

"10x" when used as a verb.

If anyone here is a Grant Cardone fan, I'm gonna make fun of you incessantly.

"With that being said ..."

Particularly if it's used more than just once in a conversation.

A sports thing, esp in football: "And they're getting their first round pick guy from last yr back, so that's like adding 2 first round picks".

Heard this a lot with Breshad Perriman (ravens), Kevin White (bears). Both came back and did exactly what they did as a rookie, nothing. Always used with Tony Romo, who came back and would get hurt as well, but NFL Analyst would always talk like he'd be 100% for every game the following year.

Not familiar with Cardone, but when Tim Ferriss uses it, it makes sense to me.

You know Tim Ferriss? I actually see him every year in Vegas.

Cardone overuses the phrase, and specifically does so as a verb.
