Two from this very morning:
“Thanks for looping me in” = You should’ve come to me 27 emails ago and I would’ve saved you 26 emails, dummy.
“In future, please [do X different thing]” = In future we won’t be interacting because you’re dead to me.

"Just circling back on this" = "I just need you do answer. A goddamn 'yes' or 'no' will do, JUST ANSWER."

Finally, the slick brush-off we’ve all had at one time or another.
"Thank you for your feedback! I'll be sure to keep it in mind!" <- your criticism is completely irrelevant if not flat out wrong and you know less on the topic than the back end of a donkey, but I have to pretend like I at least considered your opinion.
