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

The smiley-face which supposedly means "no offence" but implies everything but.
It's not really a phrase or buzzword, I guess. But that's what makes it so insidious. Tacking on a :) after an interweb missive clearly intended to put me in my place "politely" is guaranteed, instantly, to make me twice as miserable/enraged. But I think you know that. That's why you do it. You smug twunt :)

Agreed
Another one which I find in a similar vein to this is the false smile one with a sharp intake of breath. It essentially means no fucking chance but the person is just finding the right words to say it.
