I'm sorry but all these are pointless waffle that don't serve any purpose or achieve the goal. For example... A whole bunch of them are just a longer version of making yourself sound like an utter twat, e.g. "I told you so" vs "As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise." .... to the listener both equal "you're a twat". Then a whole bunch of others just open scope for further problems, e.g. "that meeting sounds like a waste of time" -> "waffle...I would be happy to read the minutes" ..... cue colleague coming back to you asking why you have not read the minutes / for your opinion on the minutes. Finally, as others have commented, it's all very Americanised and would likely not work in "no BS" cultures elsewhere in the world.
