When people in the general public say words or abbreviations typically used by professionals in a specific field- like 'presser' in journalism or 'perp' in law enforcement.
And anyone that writes or says "wow. just wow" should be beaten with bag of oranges.
I swear I hear that phrase at least once every conference call. The only helpful use of this phrase is for me to identify people who are likely not good at their jobs so they use buzz words and phrases to look better. I don't even really understand it, as I would never say I was "online" when I was just on the phone.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

"Let's take this offline" often translates to "I've been challenged and am in over my head with dozens of people listening so I'll make it sound like I'm professionally deciding this isn't the place and we shouldn't waste everyone's time".

Ha, was on a call today and this happened.
I questioned a new process and that was the response.

I've noticed a lot of younger people say it, and seems to manifest itself as the phrase of choice for those unable to think critically on their feet or in people with no personality or spark of creativity.
Anytime someone calls me "buddy". So condescending.
Haha you'd hate me then, as I'm absolutely terrible with names, so I usually just default to bud or buddy if I don't know it. But I mean it in a friendly way.
And as a vertically-challenged man, I feel the same way when someone calls me "big guy"
