    'Season' meaning 'series'. I guess it used to make sense in America when a 13 or 26 programme series would literally last a season, but it never worked in the UK where six programme sets are the norm. And it is completely meaningless in the modern era of binge watching.

    Find it interesting when business bullshit words start to take hold in an organisation, then spread. So for example where I am:

    * landed- ‘that idea has really landed with me’
    * socialise- ‘it’s really important that we socialise the message’
    * glide path (gradual improvements over time)- ‘so what does the glide path on that look like?’

    Misuse of the word "too" when it should be "to"?
  • "I'm not a racist but...."
