Okay, The Phrase "Man Up" Needs To Go Away Permanently
Along with "win-win", "at the end of the day", and "think outside the box".

1. I happen to think, that if you man up and think outside of the box, then at the end of the day....
it's a win-win.

Going forward, of course.

3. Well, then
ya gotta go back to the drawing board and push the envelope. While you're there, realize that the bottom line is that it's not rocket science, it's really as simple as taking candy from a baby, so go get em, tiger!!

After all, when life gives you lemons . . .

7. I hate that one, too, but a coworker gave me a great rebuttal for it:
Mid-level Management Toadie: It is what it is.

Orrex: Yes, but do you know what it is?


I'm dying to use it on someone.
