The phrase I can’t stand

“Go for it.” “It’s all good.” How about “time will tell?”
There are plenty of phrases out there. Some better than other. Some impactful and some lip service.
Starting in late 2017 a phrase entered the picture (or at least gained momentum) and sent a shiver of distain throughout my entire body. That phrase……. “trust the process.” What?! Exactly what does it mean to “trust the process?”
Everyone from players, GM’s, owners, members of the media say it. It seems to amp up when a team is in a slump or if just a bad team or entering a rebuild.
It use to be “it’s going to take some time.” But in our microwave society no one wants to hear anything about something taking time.
Both Ken Holland and Al Avila GM’s of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers respectfully have used “trust the process” every time a microphone is in front of them as both franchises are beginning rebuilds.
“Trust the process” because no one wants to hear “we are going to be bad for a number of years so it’s going to take time.”
Call me olf fashion but I prefer blunt honesty.
