Really irritating jargon on Bloomberg Chat

In the same way as other industries have the often maligned ‘reach out’ and ‘offline’, what are some of the most irritating sayings that you see on IB chat? Personally, any time that I read the phrases ‘any cares’, ‘grows’ or ‘more behind’, my insides wither.

'ack' is my all time least favorite; it grinds my gears when someone uses that especially a younger person. It strikes me as being very arrogant and I have found that more arrogant/stand-offish people generally use this one.

'hey There brother' especially when this is said over a box or open line. Typically older people say this in what I trade, and it sounds strange to me. I am totally fine with any other variation of that greeting but 'hey There brother' just annoys me to no end.

On a side note, thank God I don't have to deal with 'tx' because it is very similar to a code name for a product I trade so nobody I know uses that one
