That, and calling battery "juice". It shouldn't bother me this much, but it does. Same for saying "daily driver" instead of "main phone".

I guess they are meant to color up speech / break monotony, but it gets irritating when metaphors are overused and nobody just says "battery", so in the end, just using the boring regular word feels more refreshing. Similarly for articles that keep overuse words like "whopping" instead of usual formal words (to appear more friendly, I guess), or infallibly say "invest" for everything rather than just "buy".

Any day now I expect to see some device described as "massively tiny" or "massively lightweight".
