That's it. It's a linguistic tick that's infecting people. Awareness is key. Discuss. (Or not).

I don't like the "does what it says on the tin" phrase, such as employed by this recent post. Mostly, I just feel like it's overused. There have, however, been posts where I didn't understand what they were about and the description that it "does what it says on the tin" did not help. I think we can come up with better descriptions. For example, in this post, maybe a pull-quote of a helpful tip or something. [more inside]

This AskMe thread about new and overused business cliches/jargon is a thing of beauty.
