"Reach out" to mean send someone an email, call on the telephone, etc.
As is "XYZ Corporation is reaching out to you because you expressed concerns that our employee killed your dog. We are sorry you do not feel that achieved total customer satisfaction in this instance. We are committed to the robust leveraging of best practices to shift the paradigm of customer satisfaction. I you have any further concerns please reach out to us by telephone during normal business hours."
"Epic" grates on me.

Yes, "reach out" is another bit of typical corporate jargon that I can't stand. Someone else mentioned the word paradigm. Basically, most corporate cliches would be on this list...
Proactive, synergy, empowerment, steamline, diversity, sustainability, discussing something "off-line", globalization, buzzword...
agree on Patriot, True American, etc.
also..corporate speak like results oriented, synergies, etc.
Hero and Warrior. Mostly used when describing guys who get paid millions to continue playing like children.
hashtag
meme
frankly
"world" (as in the office conversation sense: "that's more in Tim's world, less so than in Monica's world. Eventually it will be in Cheryl's world, we hope."
driving (as in "that's what's driving costs.")
at the end of the day
it is what it is
streamline
touch base
"hats" (as in, "Sales is going to be a hat that Tim wears, less so than Monica. But moving forward we're hoping Cheryl wears that hat.")
1) "Tweet"; it just sounds so dumb to me.
2) "Chill", when used as an adjective. For example, "You'll really like my buddy Dave. He's super chill." UGH.
TOTS
it refers to small aged children, but I immediately think of tator tots and napoleon dynamyte
stakeholders
folks
Patronizing. Think about the people who aren't "folks". Ivy League graduates. Elected politicians. Journalists.
Global warming advocates.

I agree with this. Similarly, I don't like it when when athletic accomplishments are referred to as "historic" so often.
Wheelhouse. As in, 'the 5k distance is right in his wheelhouse' - makes me cringe.

Epic....You just shifted the paradigm of this #thread
My wife always says "curve" when she means curb. After 18 years, I've learned to let it lie.
stud... hearing this word is like listening to fingernails on a chalk board

My friend always pronounces 'bagels' with a soft a. It has always amused me more than bothered me.
But even more amusing - I have a friend who has always thought that 'jambon' is a type of ham, like black forest or something. For those in the US, jambon is simply the word ham in French, and in Canada everything is labeled in both French and English, so you always see 'jambon ham' on the label.
I can't imagine the confusion/smiles/hilarity every time he goes to the deli and asks for some jambon ham.
