There are a few words/phrases many working professionals use today to buy time to escape from the work commitment. If you are one among them then throw them out of your mind and never use it again at your work.

Try:
I'll try to do this
We'll try to compelete this work
or Simply, we'll our best.
Yoda, at star wars advices to luke skywalker: Do or Do Not - There is NO TRY.

Whatever: 
This word is a real verbal slap on the face of the other party. It means that you are avoiding or ignoring the other person's ideas or any communication.

May be &  I do not Know:
There is nothing like I don't know or may be at work. Get to know about things that matters to your work or responsibility. Don't simply say that "may be this could happen" "I don't know how to do this"

I'll get back to you: 
If someone says that they'll get back to you, then it means that they will never get back to you or simply, they don't have an intention to complete your proposed work. If you come across a person at your office says so, then clarify when will they get back and ask for time, date, day.

If: 
One person's output in another person's input. If people say that "If you do this work, then
i can complete my work". It is more like putting the blam/pressure on the other person and
not get blamed for not finising the task.


Yes, But: 
When you take any solution to your team mate or boss or anybody at office and if they "Yes, but..." it means that they don't want take your solution.

I Guess:
Don't guess anything at your work. Businesses are not run by guesstimate.

We'll See: 
This is again to buy time instead of saying a big NO. Example: If you are proposing something to start or doing something useful for the organization then always go with the data/real information that can help take decision.
