This one is a noun that bugs me but I'll share it anyways.
So here's an example of how pretty much every single conversation goes with someone in the Oil Patch:
Me: Hey man, how are are ya?
Him/Her: Busy!
Busy is not a description of how you are doing, seriously. I don't care if your boss has you working 120 hours per week, if I cared I would have asked that question. Stop making yourself sound important by saying you are busy, nobody cares.
