How many of these have you heard so far this morning? 

According to a new survey by jobs website Glassdoor, the two most infuriating office buzz word are 'touch base' meaning to catch up with a colleague on something or other and 'blue-sky thinking' which translates to imaginative thinking.

“No-one wants to be the office jargon junkie, but who isn’t guilty of using some of these buzzwords from time to time?

“Phrases like touch base and no-brainer have entered the common vernacular, but beware overusing jargon.”

The full top 10 is as follows:

- Touch base: to catch up with a colleague on a subject

- Game-changer: an idea that changes everything
