"Nice to e-meet you"
Bitch please.. get out of my emails
Agree. Sounds very back office.
„Can you cover that, fuckstick?“
De minimis
Hated that term when I was junior.
Like who the fuck is “we” because “we” are definitely not happy to cancel a date for the third time this week
Optics
Hands down makes my lose my cool every time because it’s usually tied with my weekend getting destroyed

"Fine-tuning" is when I know my boomer MD is about to burn two hours of time I desperately need, to nit-pick at stupid formatting changes on a live Zoom call.
Or an Associate coming in hot with "Send to me so I can review before sending to X" as a euphemism for taking credit of your work.

When new associates use the term “We” when sending the work they definitely just glanced over to the VP
"Defer to x"
"Team, can we massage the numbers"
"Don't spin your wheels"
"Not necessary but please add xyz" ok so should we add or not??
“Good to have first thing in the AM but don’t kill yourself tonight”. B!tch please, as if Santa Claus is going to come and do it for me
"Open the kimono"
"circle back"
"run this up the flag poll"
"cosmetic changes"
"revert"
"we know this exceptionally well" - usually means we have the superficial understanding from a 1st year analyst spending 2 minutes on hte company's website
Lmao. MD spends 5 minutes skimming through a PIB -> "We understand this industry extremely well".
"Would it be painful to [ ] ? Thx."
It is indeed always painful.
Pitching the longest pole in the tent..
Just say it's the most difficult part of whatever it is you're doing...
“Hope that you’re keeping well.”
I hate when people say “Finace”
