"This is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic".

Probably pretty funny the first 5,183 times I heard it.

If you were my boss you would say "cardinal knowledge" what ever that means. I guess cardinals are pretty [expletive] smart.

When I worked in the construction trade the everyday phrase was "having a case of the red ass". Kind of funny in the beginning but quickly got sick of hearing it.

There is a new one looming that will immediately grate on me, but it will happen.

Any deadline will now be referred to as a "cliff" - i.e. July 31 is the trading cliff.

Thanks, [expletive] politicians.

I would hate this statement if I knew what it meant:

"The popularity of Colbie Caillat's MySpace profile led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four consecutive months."

I'm with you here. I solved it a couple years ago by using-" At 11:59 pm". Makes people think for a couple seconds. Feel free to use it anytime- I have no copyright.
