Arrgghhh! “Impactful” makes my teeth hurt! So does using "impact" as a verb instead of "affect", like "How will this impact the bottom line?" Just stop!
"Issue" was mentioned previously. It's a weasel word because "problem" has too much of an impact.
"Reach out" grates on my nerves, but you wanna know what I really hate? "Connect" instead of "meet". "We'll connect later" No- we're going to MEET later, Captain Buzzword!
Another I hate; you see this in e-mails: I am "looping you in." No thanks. I would rather you just "include" me.
If I were ever in a position of authority, I would issue an e-mail banning buzzwords, but it would probably be a big issue to people because it would be impactful to their fragile psyches and limited intellect. If they don't like it, they can reach out and connect with a mental health professional.
