Annoying words and phrasesMarketing 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

It's becausethe question that is to follow tends to be one of ignorance, but the one asking would like you to give an actual answer anyway.
Nobody will ever preface "How're you doing?" with "Can I ask you a question?", because nobody expects a custom answer, and they often wouldn't care anyway.
It often carries an implied "I hate to waste your time, but hopefully you won't mind if I do it anyway" aspect to it.
That said, I hate when I catch myself using it too.
