Is wearing blue denim jacket and jeans an anti-pattern? Is vegemite an anti-pattern? Can't we just say "obsolete", or "bad idea"?
- muppetman 4y agoYou should "reach out" to him/her and sort this out. [I've always found "reach out" to be hilarious, (what, with my arms?) but it's so common now I'm the oddball]

- deathanatos 4y agoOh, the one that kills me now is "let's take that offline" used in a meeting to refer to "let's move this to a Slack conversation". (Or, more cynically, "This problem is thorny and I wish to bury it rather than put in the time and work to fix it.")
