Episodes

  1. Saturday

    Just another makeup Monday

  2. Friday - The data never lies

    The data never lies – The data never lies, but your colleagues will be annoyed if you say this to them.

  3. Thursday - It is what it is

    It is what it is – Much too flippant to say in a business meeting. Only say this around your friends.

  4. Wednesday - Failure is not an option

    Failure is not an option – You’ll feel like you’re starring with Ed Harris in Apollo 13 if you hear this line.

  5. Tuesday - Teamwork makes the Dream Work

    Teamwork makes the dream work – At least this one is funny. But it would be hard to hear in a meeting without laughing out loud.

  6. Friday - Earning your chops

    Earning your chops – I’ve seen far too many resumes with this phrase lately. Better to leave off the cliches when attempting to land a job in a creative field.

  7. Thursday - Burning the candle at both ends

    Burning the candle at both ends – How about just say that you’re working hard?

  8. Wednesday - Pick your brain

    Pick your brain – This one has a rather zombie-like appeal.

  9. Tuesday - Take it to the next level

    Am I the only one picturing Super Mario Bros?

  10. Monday - Juneteenth Cafeteria Run

    “You can’t separate peace from freedom, because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." - Malcom X

  11. Friday - My door is always open

    My door is always open – Anyone who says this usually means anything but.

  12. Thursday - Put your ducks in a row

    * Put your ducks in a row – Those who are easily distracted can’t hear this without picturing momma ducks and their ducklings. Sitting in a row next to the grains of salt by the Alaskan pipeline.

  13. Wednesday - Run it up the flagpole

    Run it up the flagpole – Proof that some phrases never die. How was your Flag Day! Did you follow flag code?

  14. Tuesday - Get Granular

    Get granular – Oh, just stop saying this. I picture grains of sugar and salt.

  15. Monday - Put it in the pipeline

    Put it in the pipeline – Would that be the Alaskan version?

  16. Friday - Going forward

    Going forward – This means next. Say next.

  17. Thursday - Paradigm Shift

    Paradigm shift – This one quickly became overused after several books were published with the phrase in the title.

  18. Wednesday - Breaking down silos

    This one is popular in government. Those silos. Are they full of grain?

  19. Tuesday - Step up to the plate

    Oh, the sports metaphors. They’ll never die.

  20. Monday - Put a Pin in it

    Stop using it. Please. Instead, say that you’ll do it later.

  21. Friday - I don’t have the bandwidth

    This one is overused. I’m guilty of overusing it. We all are. Let’s give it a rest.

  22. Thursday - Actionable

    It’s great to figure out what’s important in a meeting. But can’t we just say that? Or are we looking for exponential returns? See? Buzzwords lead to more buzzwords.

  23. Wednesday - Let’s take this offline

    This was creative once upon a time. It’s not anymore.

  24. Tuesday - Value Added

    What, are we grocery shopping? This one is tiring to hear.

  25. Friday - Drink the Kool-Aid

    This was a tragedy. More than 900 people died when cult leader Jim Jones convinced them to drink poisoned Flavor-Aid(not Kool-Aid). Quit talking about it as if it’s a good thing.

  26. Thursday - Push the envelope

    There is no special envelope to push. I swear.

  27. Monday - In today’s world

    It means now. Just say now.

  28. Monday - Grab the low-hanging fruit

    This one is just a NO.

  29. Friday - Think outside the box

    This uncreative saying means you’re already stuck inside said box.

  30. Thursday - It’s a win-win situation

    If you say this, no one has won anything.

  31. Wednesday - No Work

    The gentle hum of the mundane office while work is scarce.
