Sarge Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Local radio had a good segment today on phrases or sayings that if you were given full immunity you could punch the next person to say it right in the mouth! One that comes to mind for me? "give 110%" You can only give everything you have which is 100%. What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 One of my co-workers, when he finds something he wants to be too expensive, likes to say "Well, that's higher than a giraffe cooter!" It was funny the first time or two, but 15 times a day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 When my boss wants to check on how (anyone) is doing he walks up and asks "everything going your way?" After a few hundred times I'm really sick of it. Today I was asking someone else a question, he did it and I just turned to him and said "no".

billfer Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 "metrics" Engineering learned a new word about a year ago. We don't look a data anymore we look at "metrics". "let me break this down for you" Another phrase used in meetings. Apparently we're all to stupid to figure something out on our own so we need the speaker to "break it down for us".
