Another Americanism unfortunately - and makes no sense. Always used by younger people in pubs, shops, etc - such is the state of our ejukayshun system these days. Sometimes I sit in the pub and they say something like "can I get a Kronenbourg?". No, you buffoon - the barman will get it for you. It's his job.

Management language is annoying, especially when overheard in informal conversations out of the workplace, or in popular culture. I heard on the radio today the Tears for Fears song from the 80s which contains the line: 'I can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision'. Tedious!
It is what it is
What the hell does that mean? I hear it a lot, along with 'We are where we are'.

I agree in GENERAL, people who say "WTF" are swearing, but I don't mind. They can be, e.g., quite "savvy", though that doesn't apply to a recent poster here, who has edumification deficit disorder, amongst others.
Putins catchphrase? and people who ask for advise
Waiters who say "No problem" when they take your order. I always feel like telling them it shouldn't be a problem as it's their job.
Talking about waiters, ENJOY! I hope I do but why not complete the sentence and say; enjoy your meal or; I hope you enjoy your meal.

'My Bad' - WTF does that mean other than the person saying it has been listening to too many Americanisms.
The interesting thing about that particular affectation is that I've noticed quite a few older people using it, when they clearly would not have been brought up with it. I wonder what possesses them to make a change like that.Another Americanism unfortunately - and makes no sense.

Circle back. What's all that about?
Reach out. Again, what's that about?
(She/Her) - All the women I deal with in a particular organisation end up putting this after their names. Should I start putting (He/Him) when I reply to them?
No, I wouldn't bother. He/Him.
