My most hated business term at present:

"Out of pocket"

This horrible phrase infests the legal industry, and is used when someone is unavailable for a meeting or on travel or whatever.

JUST SAY OUT OF OFFICE

WHO'S IN A POCKET HERE, THAT MAKES NO SENSE

@fobo just start using other terms with ‘pocket’

“That case is gonna be a total pocket rocket”

“He dropped a Hot Pocket on the judge”

“Sink the evidence in the corner pocket”

Dang now I have written the word ‘pocket’ enough times that it looks really
weird to me

@brook Maybe every lawyer is secretly a funk or jazz bass player, and they just love playing in the pocket

@fobo I choose to believe someone invented that to troll idiots

@fobo Next up on the pocket docket: Polly Pocket vs Rocket Coroquette. Pocket alleges Rocket misappropriated their locket socket mockup to produce unauthorized coroquette jockey socket.
