It's ok, this is a safe place, you guys. We can all admit here, without fear of admonishment that we've used a few -- perhaps even all -- of these phrases in our daily work lives. No judgements.

But now is the time when we must come together as office drones to put an end to these hateful words and their awful connotations once and for all. Can you remember the last time you said "proactive" or "think outside of the box"? Neither can we. See, dreams really can come true.

So here are the business phrases that we most want to see go the way of the dodo. Read them and weep one last time.
