Phrase I can't stand

"Ramp up."

Do you guys ever say this? Is this even really a thing? I guess you can create a ramp and like, prop something up...? But you only gather speed on a ramp when you're going DOWN it, right?

I've always guessed that this is a bastardized version of "amp up." That one is OK with me, because "amplify" implies that you want to intensify something.

If it is a real thing, I still hate it! Heard it on the news and countless times at work this week. ::twitch::
