Yes. Corporate buzz phrases... most hotshot salespeople and corporate office opportunists have all the buzz words at the ready so they can sound cool to their superiors...

Yours is a good example. More are

"Code me in" (cc me in your email)

"That's a different animal"

"Best practices"

"SME"

"That right in his wheelhouse"

"Knock it out of the park"

"The new normal" (this one is way overused in the corporate world ever since the US economy went into recession--workers started complaining about being saddled with 2 full time jobs and a cut in pay)

I have a new member of staff. She has written me a report which includes the phrase 'I recommend we initiate a high-level cross-departmental communication strategy to deliver success results.'

I said I wasn't entirely comfortable with the language. She didn't get what I was driving at so, after discussing what she really meant I suggested 'I recommend more regular meetings of the directors so that they have a better understanding of what each department is doing.'

She said that this doesn't cover 'to deliver success results'. So I gently suggested that the Board probably didn't think she was likely to be making recommendations to make our company less successful.

Which I imagine she found quite annoying.

Perhaps she has other assets which make her worth saving.

Don't worry I've been doing this for years.

We've always done it this way.
