When someone says "We need to chat....", nows means "boy, you're in a world of ....". At one time, it was a pleasantry... /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

<font color=blue> In aviation, "Near miss". Means the 2 planes didn't hit? If I nearly miss someone, I caught them, right? </font color=blue>
George Carlin has one for this one. "Near miss," he says, "that's a near hit!"

The one I could not remember was something that a guy I used to work with said.
"I see said the blind man as he picked his hammer and tools"

Poor English sometimes makes for fond memories of people you knew. One guy I worked with when asked a question, and it depended on how he felt would always answer, "independent on the feelings". Funny, I use that from time to time.

A friend of mine a long time ago was concerned that she was going to get blamed for a project not going as planned. She said "she didn't want to be their escaped goat."

Another big-shot manager at work was introducing a new program and the leadership team. Said they'd recruited "John Doe to run rough-shod" on the project.
They didn't have any idea what rough-shod meant. Thought it meant they'd "ride herd" or just manage the work. Ironic that it meant quite the opposite, especially given the sensitivity around this particular effort.
