What words or phrases would you like to banish for 2022?
I'll submit the phrase "lean in." So very tired of hearing that hackneyed phrase being used for "attend to." Besides, we definitely should not be physically leaning in during COVID! Sheesh. Someone put an N95 mask on that phrase.
What about you, what phrases or words would you like to vote off the island?
("Vote off the island" could be one...! LOL)

How about, "We're all in this together". You can hear a certain phrase only so many times before it fails to inspire you - especially in the Covid era. 
Or "content", used to refer to any and every type of consumable media.

"The new normal."
I hate it, because every time someone says, "This is the new normal," it's NEVER something positive; it's always something negative, "...and we'll all have to get used to it."

Been “a minute”. Unless it has really been a minute.
Re: Words/Phrases You'd Like to Banish for 2022
What does that mean, how is it used?

I'm on the "Covid" and "New Normal" train! I hate most anything to do with the both of them!

The White House has a woman who uses something similar when she has to have time to think of an answer because it is not in her prepared notes. It is a stalling tactic.

I usually tell them that a Boomer is going to throw them out of their bedroom and put them on the street.

You could add "Systemic Racism" to that list.
I can think of a bunch of PC words and phrases I wish I would never hear again...
