Annoying Buzzwords

I'm listening to the Dem. Presidential debate on NPR right now, and it occurs to me that there are a number of currently popular buzzwords in political circles that are really annoying.

Chief among these are "on/off the table" and "carrot and stick".

Also, in the world of business, the use of the phrase "out of pocket" (to mean "out of reach") must be stopped. Calling PowerPoint presentations "decks" is also moderately grating.

That is all.
