Stupid expressions | Forums

[theexpozay]

So as many of you know, I work in goverment contracting. I spend most of my life in meetings with my customer. (the US Navy's Military Sealift Command) One thing I have noticed is that people who work for the Goverment have an endless supply of stupid expressions. It seems to me that this must not be limited to the US Goverment, so I ask all forumers to post the most silly expression they have ever heard.

To start here are 3 from a meeting I was at today:

1) "9 women can not have a baby in 1 month."
(this is true unless one of the women is 8 months preggers)

2) "We must capture the low hanging fruit and hold onto them."
(I have no idea)

3) "It is critical that we harvest our efficencies."
(dear god what has happened to english)
