Wow- I say a few of these.

Specifically "low hanging fruit" (not often, but sometimes it's exactly correct in the right context)

and "action items" (which is basically a way to say "ok assholes, here is what you are agreeing to do at the end of this meeting".

"Touch Base" is a personal one I hate- because it's almost always a passive/agressive way to say "I'm contacting you because you didn't get back to me".

"Follow-Up" is another one, simply because to my boss it means "pester the person you have to work with until they hate you".
