I heard the word transparent/transparency being used a lot 2-3 years ago but I've rarely heard it in the past year or so.

 

I use "awesome" all the time.  I need to come up with a different expression!

Seriously... I don't 'reach out', I call or email... 'Transparency' has become grossly over-used and frankly, grossly over-rated... and I 'trust science' when science has something meaningful to offer...  All these things are, to me, sounding pat and idiotic, some for quite a while... Not a fan of buzz words...

I don't mind hearing transparent as much as I do hearing the world "surreal"  Too many interviews where that's all people say is this or that is so surreal.

I belong to a Facebook group and there is/was a member that used it all the time.

 

She is a library trustee and was being "transparent" when she would post that she was a library trustee, when she doxed another member, when she had no knowledge why she wasn't included in the decision making to re-open the library for certain hours and when she knew nothing about Hoopla.  

 

After someone called her out on her need to tell us she was a library trustee everytime she posted on a library post she didn't come back.

Transparent , as far as as I'm concerned, is when you can see through my nightgown. Now hubby still thinks that's awesome!!

I am sick of the phrases "super cute" "stinking cute", or  "super" anything. Another is "rocking that outfit". Dumbest thing I have ever heard.
