For example the extreme ridiculousness of the following article on using bash libraries in scripting where every second sentence is something like "Over 90% of development teams utilize version control systems", or "According to a recent survey, 75% of developers prioritize comprehensive documentation when selecting libraries".

The entire article is full of them, and I estimate the length of the article could be reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 if they were removed.

What does it mean?
What is the [likely] origin of the phrase, as #colloquialism?

My mom calls the sickness that goes around this time of year the "creeping gunga." I couldn't find anything about it online, but I am laying miserably in bed beside an equally miserable library science student, who turned up a solitary reference to "creeping gombu," also Midwestern.
