"Dialoguing" makes me run screaming from the room.

"Gifting" also makes me gag, even though the dictionary says it's proper usage. I suspect payola. (I love the word "payola.")

When I was working in radio I always hoped to get Payola in Shinola and I just dug out some Payolas music. Damn, I'll be up all night looking up old music. ;)

ergens op 'acteren'. It should be either 'ageren' if you want to go down the road of anglicism, or it should be 'handelen'.

But I guess you're more interested in english language improprieties.
Currently I'm working at a company where the policy is to speak English. People are from Bulgaria, Roumenia, Spain, India, Israel and the Netherlands. And it turns out that not everybody is very good at languages.
It's mostly pronunciation that suffers. And now and then I hear phrases like 'I speak English very good'.
I'm impressed that the one lonely native speaker from Ireland manages to not correct people.

"It's all good." Hey, wait just one stinkin' minute; it is *not* all good. Don't try to pull that equanimity crap on me, don't pull that "OM — all is good in the world of love and peace" crap; I'm hurting over here. My dog just died. Or I just broke my leg in sixteen places. Or whatever.

There are real problems everywhere to be found—nuns do get raped and whatnot—if you'd cut that hogwash for a minute and open your fool eyes, you'd be able to see life immediately.

How's about I stomp my boot down on your right foot — is that all good, too?

It's all good? No; no, it isn't.
(grumble grumble, moan)

Oh, and also "interfacing" with someone, esp in a work setting.

What about the reverse? People who use archaic snotty wilfully abstruse phrases where normal expressions would do?
Like for instance 'abstruse'.

One of the "important words to know" for the new company is "socialize". As in "who did you socialize this idea with?". I can easily deal with the new acronyms, but that's pretty awful.

Local newscasters who begin their concluding sentences with "now", as in "Now police say the suspect has been released."

Impactful is OK for discussing wisdom teeth.

Saw a bad one this week - our top IT Architect referred to how we should move on from discussing the issue and "operationalize a solution". Ugh.

"Impact" as a verb bothers people at my office SO much that even when it's properly used as a noun they reflexively try to change it.

Also from the world of business-speak:incentivize. Makes my train of thought feel like it just ran into a twenty-foot high pile of manure on the tracks.

When you have to bring food "to life" by adding some other ingredient, it bothers me. Hopefully, your food is dead and won't be coming back as a zombie for you to eat.

"Wordsmithing" instead of "re-writing" or "revising" or "editing". What do you foist that term at me, client? Am I supposed to feel flattered?

"Conversating" and "conversate". If you wish to converse do so. Or leave me alone.

"Orientating". I don't care if it's wrong or right, it sends chills up my back like fingernails on a chalkboard.

'Preventative' - nobody has a problem with 'correct' -> 'corrective', so why don't they understand 'prevent' -> 'preventive'?

Ability to live with business-speak is the reason I'm the 1%.

Gerund abuse, pure and simple.
I adapt to communicate but it is like drag, I put it on for a purpose.

Ability to live with business-speak is the reason I'm the 1%.

Heh. Sure, there's some truth to putting up with the culture that's ostensibly helping you get ahead, except you're almost certainly not in the 1%. It does help the rest of 'em along, though, and I'm sure they appreciate the cooperation.

Tasking. It's the thin end of the wedge.

Sure, you'll start with tasking and no-one really minds, but in no time at all you're up to your neck in incentivation, solutioneering and when you can say "robustly comprehensive metrics" with a straight face...well...it's time to put you down, son.

Seconding "gifting".

Also, in an ordinary work context, "reaching out to" people instead of simply getting in touch with them.

I was thinking that a lot of this is somewhat unavoidable because, at work, what you do is you basically say the same kind of thing all the time, because your work is to do the same kind of thing all the time. Naturally you seek shorthands and signal phrases. We use "reaching out to" a lot, but if I had to come up with a new construction every time I wanted to say "contact" someone, "call" someone, "get in touch with" someone, "touch base with" someone, "connect" with someone, "interface" with someone...well it would get tiring and hard to avoid cliches anyway (I wonder, was "get in touch with" a cliche at one time?). So I see how these things arise. It's just irritating when they sweep through a workplace like wildfire and suddenly everyone's uttering the same phrases, robotlike. And doubly irritating when people take them on proudly prance them around kn a mannered way to show how business-y they are.

Work is irritating, so everything about work becomes a potential irritant. Work elements crossing over to private life is especially irritating.
