This is a question Annoying words and phrases

Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

I find that the English do this a lot.
It's "vodka", not "voddies." It's "breakfast", not "brekker". It's "Christmas", not "Crimbo". It's "sandwich", not "sarnies". It's tea, not "cuppa".

I'll leave out the negative stereotyping that this results in, as that was last week's QOTW.

(Sorry if I sound especially irritable this morning. We had a storm last night and my broken ankle is not responding well.)
