The IT catchphrase you'd like to never hear again

twain

I work in IT and have a co-worker who loves to say "...wait for it..." I can't stand this phrase and would love to never hear it again. Anyone else have a catchphrase you dislike?

Is that a IT specific catch phrase?

Not at all, it's Barney's one - from How I met your mother :)

Origin of the phrase may not be IT-related, however the phrase is currently heavily used in IT

I'm with OP on that one. Once is fine, again and again? I would go crazy :(

corehosting

I guess it depends where you live, because here - Switzerland - it's really not that used in IT :) @Zen oh yeah same as "Challenge accepted" from the same TV show

Except I'd like to hear more of it.

@MannDude, Did you see that ludicrous game last night?

luma

"do the needful" and "please do the needful"

Can't stand it.

I know it is a common phrase in India but if you are Indian and are working with non-Indians please for the love of all that is IT stop using that phrase!

Most common IT phrase that annoys me: "Well they're just going to have to deal with it."

You mean the end user? The person you're hired to take care of? End user only needs to "deal with it" when there is no other choice, not when the IT guy can't be bothered to inconvenience themselves.

Haha, it's funny as a joke, but when it's used seriously, like in a commercial, I just:
