#7. “Paradigm Shift”

Nothing quite like invoking the cosmos to describe changing the office printer.


Well, if you are changing it to a PDF system, that might actually be a paradigm shift.

#11. “Move the Needle”

Unless we’re all suddenly DJs, can we agree to just say “make progress”?


I was always under the impression that "move the needle" was more about a seismograph that detects earth shaking movement, rather than a phonograph.

#14. “Win-Win Situation”

A mythical scenario, much like a unicorn, where everyone is happy and nobody’s spreadsheet gets rejected.

Not at all. Both Matt Stafford and Jared Goff benefitted when the Rams traded quarterbacks. That was a win-win. To use a corporate example, "Let's send the hard drives from our decommissioned hard drive storage over to the Altoona office that is running out of disc space".
