Everyone has little sayings that they pick up, whether they are appropriate in casual settings (I'm looking at you Michelle "What den" Ramer) or used in the workplace. Today I am thinking about workplace-isms. My boss has a slew and what's funny is that he picked them up from his old boss. Most of the time he laughs with us after one flies out of his mouth. Share your work-place sayings in the comments. If you could get that done...that would be greeeeeat.
A few sites to get you going...

My all time favorite has been the one that my boss said during a meeting "let's not trip over midgets here......."
That's awesome. How about "Whose gonna tie the bell on this cat?"
I am "putting you on notice" that we are going to have a "come to Jesus meeting." "Heads are gonna roll."
We need to "touch base" and come together to make this campaign a "home run".
We need to find you some work so that'We are not dead in the water'...
listen, i have "no bandwidth", let's "take this off line"
Let's put this one in the parking lot for a while...
Who's "shop" was in charge of this project? Do you think they had an "action plan"?
Hey, wait a minute, I use the parking lot one and it's a good one. Don't mock it. You can use my other one "the challenge is...."
Oo Oo...I just remembered another one from my boss: "We are gonna need a belt and suspenders on this one."
i always "miss the boat" on these little exchanges. some favorite Harris-isms we used to make fun of: "let's have a single-purpose meeting about that" and "we need to close the loop on this" and "i'll give him a call and grease the skids a little"
