Whatever. Hate speach all over this. Don’t tell me hoe to communicate with the morons I work with. It’s irrelevant that I work alone. They are morons. ;)

"Boil the ocean"

During WWI the government asked for suggestions on how to get rid of the U-Boats. Basically, that was what Will Rogers suggested: "Boil the Atlantic". Back then the government must have had a sense of humor for they asked just how he would do that. He told them he just came up with ideas and let other people figure out how to implement them.

Some more cringeworthy ones:

"My last territorial claim in Central Europe..."

"No one... intends to build a wall..."

"Never fight a land-war in Asia..."

I have always loathed, with every cell of my being, the catch-all phrase
"...from a _____ perspective"

as well as (one usually hears this from some dimwit at HR while filling out forms)
"Perfect."

My view was that people who couldn’t think outside the box were the ones who got promoted.
