CalTex AnalystA few that stood out to me during recruiting...

Barclays: Relationship managers Citi: Emerging markets access, truly global bank Evercore: Highly-focused

IBD in general:

"Can you just drop this in?" "The numbers are not tying." "Let's add some more color to this analysis." "The firm believes..." "To the extent that... " (ugh, HATE this, people confuse this with "if") "Let's get the low hanging fruit." "Let's not reinvent the wheel." "Can we run these 2394820 scenarios?"

And the classic...

"FOOD LOBBY!!"
