here are some more phrases i've noticed being used around my office but which don't really mean anything.
cover off on v. cover. usage: "did we cover off on everything on our agenda? i don't want to skip anything." real words/phrases that could be used instead: "did we cover everything on our agenda? i don't want to skip anything."
buttoned up adj. calm under pressure. usage: "joe has so many projects going on but you'd never know because he is so buttoned up and everything gets done on time." real words/phrases that could be used instead: "joe has so many projects going on and never misses a beat; everything gets done on time."
baked in adj. included. usage: "don't worry about doing QA; that's baked into our processes here." real words/phrases that could be used instead: "don't worry about doing QA; that's included in our processes here."
