In connection with the latest irritating buzzwords mentioned in the business news on 8.8., try the buzzword generator, because "at the end of the day", it might be "a window of opportunity". People might say, "I know where you're coming from". So "don't go there!" 

If you want to say even more "clever" things, why not try profanities and profundities on yet another page!
